Hehehe... I think it was Amazon who said they were going to do delivery by 
drone. Google wants cars driving themselves all over and Amazon wants to 
create clouds of delivery drones cruising the skies. I don't know if these 
guys are trying to build Skynet or not, but they just might end up doing it. 
Suddenly in the future, Amazon's feedback system is full of reports of the 
delivery drones trying to terminate the customers and the media is 
overflowing with news reports of self-driving Googlecars chasing people 
through the streets. Skynet has become self-aware.  Next thing you know 
there's a 7' tall metal skeleton on your doorstep dropping off your latest 
Coco-related gadget and asking about the whereabouts of Sarah Connor.
