We have all heard the word drone . So what are drones, they are nothing but an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) also known as quad-copters. They are our future. They are like an air-flying robot. It is controlled by a controlling device which are remote controllers. Technology has advanced so much that one can easily integrate the remote controller to your pc/laptop and control the drone from your computer.
Imagine you are on a trip/vacation somewhere away from the city and you want to order a pizza but you learn that the service is not available in the region and at the same time you are dying of hunger. What would you do ? You probably wished that there existed something like a small airplane/helicopter that would deliver pizza wherever you go. But you should not be worried because a similar technology is on the verge of gaining popularity.
