Last year, drones made a huge impact in our social lives It's still making an impact even now in this new year. They present a multitude of possibilities and also problems. Nonetheless, though, drones are the future for generations to come, so they will be continued to be modified to fit whatever use an individual needs. A drone at its most basic stage may seem to be nothing more than a pest now but with so much possibility you can bet that top business companies are looking at this flying gizmo from every vantage point. Even if some of the ideas are currently conceivable or not.

A major breakthrough with drones that is catching on is a delivery system. Amazon has already made this phenomenon there future for the company for many years to come. It is not just consumers that are seeing this become a favorable way of transporting goods, but other rival business establishments as well. As it currently stands now, markets like Macy's, Sears, and even Kmart are seeing a dwindling amount of consumers coming into their stores to buy products. The main reason for this is that consumers are becoming more lenient on buying their products online like Amazon. Even in 2016, statistics show a growing number of consumers buying more online than in local stores. You can just imagine how high that will increase once Amazon has their drone delivery system fully functioning and reaching customers from all crosses of the world. Leaving our favorite shopping places to either get with the times or start closing up shop to the all mighty power that is Amazon shopping.

Even countries are building new tactical drones of their own to fight against any future threats that may threaten their civilization. One country known for their use of drones during times of conflict is America, though they have received a lot of controversies over this brutal tactic. Many have come to agree that casualties for troops are much less than putting them into battle. People still are not convinced, however, that drones have the ability to make the distinction between civilians and enemies. New applications and special reading scanners are being developed to help aid the drones to hit their targets with more accuracy to resolve this issue. Not only to give the military a strategic advantage but a great resolve over the loss of human life.

Movies are making a move to use drones as well. Some drone models have shown to capture some rather unique footage of certain sequences of filming that adds another layer of viewing pleasure for viewers when watching movies. The reason for this is simply due to the fact that movie productions have had to assemble their cameras onto fixtures or layouts so that cameramen can start recording the scenes. This has shown to become an obstacle at some points when filming simply due to the fact of having to layout how to film it from a certain angle and then adding effects to hide the cameras filming the shots in the set. Using drones can help take this convoluted mess of filming and simplify it, so the production of the movie can be adequate to really capture the scenes that happen throughout the movie.

This amazing piece of technology has certainly given us a lot to look forward to but there is plenty that is still unknown of what this flying device could still bring. it could very well be something positive or negative depending on what the intentions are.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
