Understanding drones

Drones are the mention of today's world with some companies like

Amazon showing vested interest in cmmercialising the maachines.The

question is however,what is a drone and how did they come about?< > A

drone in the real worl is a male honey bee.In the tech world, a drone

is an unmanned aircraft commonly referred to as UAV(Unmanned Aerial

Vehicle).The construction of the drones started in 1960 after the

United States air forces intensfied efforts to prevent their pilots

from death during war. The first was created in 1964 and took part in

the Vietnamese war.However, drones had been created since 1935 by

Germans,French but were less remote controlled. < >Drones have been

used for surveillance by the USA and taken part in wars in Indian war

in 1972,currently in Afghanistan and Somalia. < >About 45 countries

use the drone nowadays but mostly for surveillance and research as of

2013.Advances in technology include less remote control. However their

commercialisation is under sharp criticism as legislation to the

matter is underway.Some civil groups think it could one day turn

tragic for the world if such machines should be left to hover

around.Something like the I-robot movie: ''robotic revolution against

the human race''.

Flying cars?Skycar

The skycar is an invention developed in 2009 by the skycar expedition team. The team included aviation engineer, Gilo Cardozo, a reknowned paraglider and inventor of parajet.He is also known for successfully flying to Mount Everest in his Wankel rotary-powered Parajet.It is an improvement of the balloon car. Cardozo explained, "the skycar can move from road mode to flymode in 3minutes." ZIt could take off after attaining an average speed of 35mph when switched to fly mode. The Skycar was to be different from other flying cars through its method of staying aloft. In the prototype stages, the vehicle used a similar method of flight as Cardozo's Parajet -- a parawing that is force-fed with air by a large fan. The fan was driven by a 140-horsepower Yamaha sportbike engine.The team said that an air speed of 100 mph was possible at an altitude of 2,000 to 3,000 feet. It was expected to accelerate from 0-60mph in 45 seconds. The team made its test flight between London and Tumuk...

What is new in android 6.0 marshmallow?

Android is an amazing OS developed by google.What I like about the OS is the constant updates and new features. Lets have a sneak Preview. Features Android Marshmallow provides native support for fingerprint recognition on supported devices via a standard API, allowing third-party applications to implement fingerprint-based authentication. Fingerprints can be used for unlocking devices and authenticating Play Store and Android Pay purchases. Android Marshmallow supports USB Type-C, including the ability to instruct devices to charge another device over USB. Marshmallow introduces new power management schemes known as "Doze" and "App Standby"; when running on battery power, a device will enter a low-power state if it is inactive and not being physically handled. In this state, network connectivity and background processing is restricted, and only "high-priority" notifications are processed. A new "Assist" API allows information from a currently-op...
