The amount of restrictions on drones in the United States is ridiculous. Drones have shown its many uses in the work place, “Benefits include the reduction of wear and tear on farm equipment, savings on labor and fuel costs, gathering data, mapping fields, crop breeding, counting cattle, and checking water and algae levels in ponds.” (Jones, 29). So they can be affective in industries usually viewed as blue collar as well as high tech companies. The most known use of drones is Amazon has the technology to have drones deliver their goods. However, with current United States law it is impossible for them to implement it in the United States. This is unacceptable, if regulation like this continues all that will happen is the United States will fall behind in innovation. Regulating technological advancement is idiotic, because technological advancement is how the United States stays at the forefront of innovation which means more businesses and jobs meaning a better United States economy. To relate this to another event is people wanted to regulate the industrial revolution in the 1800s because they were afraid that it would take too many jobs away. It did take many jobs away but the invisible hand and capitalism guarantees that humans will move on to do bigger and better things. This is exactly what happened the industrial revolution opened up the room for the birth of white collar jobs such as managers and accountants. This is a basic principle of capitalism, the people have to put trust in the market and no matter what happens there will always be light at the end of the tunnel and more jobs will open up for the American citizens. Allowing drones as a delivery service will take away such a small fraction of the jobs compared to the industrial revolution. This is why drones in business should be less strict instead of more strict. The benefits and upsides are so worth it. The
