Drones A flying Internet of Things

and a coming regulatory nightmare?

Chris Swan @cpswan

Drones are fun, and cool

Drones can help humanity

Drones also have more questionable uses

And use by terrorists has been forecast

The overreactions have begun

So is this what happens next?

1. Drones become more and more popular as kids/hackers toys

2. Eventually a drone is used in a real terrorist plot

3. Our politicians over react and ban drones

4. We all write tweets and blogs about what clueless morons our politicians are because the whole thing has been widely understood for some time

5. Drones don't get unbanned for use outside of police/law enforcement because of whining from the hacker community

Thanks for listening

I’ll be around later if you have questions
