New technologies are leading to a point where increasingly harder to differentiate fact from fiction. If you look at the picture below you can see how a soldier held in his hand a small drone drone, from there you ask yourself is the scene of a movie or something real? The answer is that it's a British soldier using the latest technology in recognition systems: you are in battle and your staff drone enters enemy lines to take a look and send various information and even videos of the area.
The mini-drone is officially called 'Black Hornet', is made by a Norwegian company called Prox Dynamics, measures only 10 cm high, has 16 grams of weight and she looks like a mini-helicopter toy, ie You can easily carry it for use in the time when you need it and send in a reconnaissance mission without the enemy knows she is being watched.
Despite its small size it has inside of a number of mini-gadgets designed to spy on the enemy without realizing it, and positioning system that lets you know its location and place to be targeted include a camera that can take pictures and videos and send them in real time.
Currently has already been successfully tested in Afghanistan by the British army was the first to incorporate it as a monitoring system in practice.
The advantage over larger drones known is that it requires a large infrastructure to run or several operators who are responsible for their operation and maintenance. A single person can use to perform tasks of espionage, reconnaissance, exploration, patrol, etc..
The most pessimistic (or realistic) view it as a step towards an Orwellian world, maybe one day you see more of these mini-drones flying over the streets of your city, identifying possible crimes, chasing exceeding road speed or leaning out your window 'to see what you do'.
