Over the recent past there has been an increase in the usage of drones both in a social and civilian way. The concept of ‘drone’ was originally used to refer to preprogrammed aircrafts. However as years have gone by the word has evolved and its meaning has expounded to in cooperate more features ("Humanitarian Uses Of Drones And Satellite Imagery Analysis: The Promises And Perils" 2015). Presently the word refers to any robot that is either preprogrammed or controlled. Drones are classified into many different categories however, most researchers have grouped drones in to two different categories that is; those that are for surveillance and reconnaissance purposes while the second major group are those that are to make missiles and bombs ("Humanitarian

Drones have also been successfully used by environmentalists to help keep track of the changes in the environment. Tushvel aerials liaising with the Brazilian state have also used drones to help watch and keep safe the Amazon’s indigenous forest which is in the Amazon forest. Another example is of how the University of Toronto as well as MIT has come up with a project that uses drones as well as high tech sensing technology to look in to and check any form of cyanobacteria in lakes and rivers ("Humanitarian Uses Of Drones And Satellite Imagery Analysis: The Promises And Perils" 2015). This is because the bacteria are very harmful to animals as well as human beings who are dependent on the river for drinking water.
When it comes to its civilian use drones have been used by human beings to check storm patterns. A good example is NASA. Not long ago NASA spent close to about $ 30- million on drones to check storms (Sandbrook 2015). Even though drones are small, this reason has not stopped some government and states to use the drones in surveying their lands. States as well as military surveillance have mostly used drones in such a way. One benefit of using drones to survey land is because it gives one a 3-D
