Drones are a rather new technology that’s changing the game with drones influencing commerce and surveillance in the media. Drones are capable of doing things and taking pictures that a human just simply cannot do from angles to speed.” Drones are widely perceived as complex technical systems employing professional infrastructures, cutting-edge engineering knowledge, and vast financial resources. With the convergence within technology getting things delivered quickly and conveniently is all people care about these days. “As drones become increasingly accessible and affordable, it will be essential for policymakers to consider the full range of drone capabilities and their potential impact on military operations and international security” Drones can also be used for terrorism or unlawful spying on another person, that’s why it imperative that there be laws and policy’s in place to protect the safety of the people. These laws and policies will influence the way people use drones and what they use them for. There are drones available for the public that vary in price and standard, drones for the government. Even with laws and policies in place “, given the construction material, small size, and flight altitude of most hobbyist systems, they are rarely visible on radar and are therefore particularly difficult to detect”. This is a problem for the safely of the people.

“Security is often an afterthought. The value of our work is in showing that the technology in these drones is highly vulnerable to hackers.”

The capabilities in comparison to the limitations with the commercial drones is changing the way things get delivered commercially, these are stronger and more durable drones.    Amazon even gave convenience to their customer by offering them Prime Air. “In the German-speaking media landscape Amazon’s media stunt Prime Air can be considered as the first discursive event of civil drone use and the starting point of this shift in media perception”
