>> >>: ENGINEERS HUDDLE OVER A COMPUTER.
THEY'RE ABOUT A LAUNCH A DRONE OR A REMOTE CONTROLLED ARIEL VEHICLE.
THEY PUNCH IN A START AND END POINT ON THE MAP AND TAKE OFF.
THE QUAD KAWPTER THAT SWRIPS BY LOOKS LIKE A TODDLER'S NIGHT STAND.
IT DOESN'T LOOK THAT THREATENING.
IN A DECADE DRONES WILL HAVE EVOLVED WAY BEYOND THEIR CURRENT MILITARY USE.
>> >>: RATHER THAN VISUALIZING DRONES AS BEING WEAPON CARRYING ROBE OUGHTS YOU'LL THINK OF
THEM AS BEING CROP DUSTERS.
YOU WILL THINK OF THEM IN AN ENTIRELY NEW CONTEXT.
WE'LL FORGET THAT DRONES WERE ONCE A DEFENSE INDUSTRY THING.
>> >>: WHAT MAKES A DRONE A DRONE IS THE ABILITY TO GO FROM POINT A TO POINT B, WITH THE CLICK
OF A MOUSE OR TOUCH OF THE SCREEN WITHOUT DIRECT HUMAN INTERACTION.
IT'S A ROBE OUGHT USING GPS TO PERFORM A SIMPLE COMMAND, GO HERE.
BUT IT'S ALSO A LAUNCH PAD FOR AMAZING POSSIBILITIES.
>> >>: WHAT IF WE BUILT A BOX YOU PUT ON YOUR BELT, AND WHILE YOU WERE WIND SUR FERRING,
THE DRONES FOLLOWED YOU WITH A CAMERA ON YOU.
>> >>: THESE FLYING NIGHT STANDS COULD TRANSFORM INTO HOVER BOARDS OR A FLEET OF MAIL CARRIERS.
>> >>: THIS IS ANDERSON AND HIS KIDS FLYING A REMOTE CONTROL PLANE.
IT'S 2007 AND HE'S OBSESSED WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF DRONES.
HE STARTED A BLOG DIY DRONES.
A FEW HUNDRED MILES SOUTH, JODY WAS RIPPING APART A HELICOPTER AND A NINTENDO WII.
HE WAS SCOWERRING GOOGLEÊ >> >>: BEFORE I GOOGLE SOMETHING I DIDN'T
FIND IMJ, AND THE WEEK LATER I GOOGLED THE SAME THING AND I FOUND THESE BLOCKS.
>> >>: NU„EZ JOINED THE DIY BLOG.
>> >>: I WAS INCLINEED TO MAKE IT WORK.
PROBABLY I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS SOMETHING HIGH END.
>> >>: ANDERSON WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THAT.
THE TWO IMMEDIATELY HIT IT OFF AND BEGAN COLLABORATING.
TODAY THEY'RE RUNNING A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR CROSS BORDER COMPANY THAT PRODUCES AND SELLS
HARDWARE AND PERSONAL DRONES.
THE COMPANY, 3D ROBOTICS FOUND SUCCESS IN NU„EZ'S HOME TOWN.
>> >>: PRIOR TO 18 MONTHS AGO, I THOUGHT TIJUANA WAS DRUG CARTELS AND CHEAP TEQUILA.
WHAT JORDY KNEW AND TAUGHT ME IS THAT TIJUANA IS THE SHUN JUN OF NORTH AMERICA.
IT'S NOT JUST CHEAP, IT'S BETTER SKILLED.
MORE ENGINEERS.
THESE MANUFACTURING SKILLS WE'VE LOST IN THE UNITED STATES ARE STILL THERE.
>> >>: ANDERSON BELIEVES THE USE OF TIJUANA'S HIGH PF SKILLED LOW COST LABOR IS THE BUSINESS
OF THE FUTURE THE GOAL IS TO STREAM LINE THE PROCESS, BUY THE DRONE, DOWNLOAD THE APP,
AND TYPE IN THE COORDINATES AND GO.
SIMPLE ENOUGH FOR A GRAND MOTHER TO BUY, AND REINVENT THE PRODUCT.
MANY ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE MOST INVASIVE DRONE FUTURE WITH THE IDEA LIKE FLYING SNIPER
RIFLES OR HOVERING SPY CAMERAS.
ASK CHRIS ANDERSON.
>> >>: GENERAL PURPOSE TECHNOLOGIES ARE INCREDIBLY EMPOWERING.
BY DEFINITION, THEY DON'T LIMIT THE WAY YOU USE IT.
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO DO SOMETHING STUPID, WE CAN'T STOP.
>> >>: COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY GOT ITS BIGGEST USE FROM MILITARY TECHNOLOGY.
THE GOODNESS TECHNOLOGY CAN DO WILL ULT NT MTLY ULTIMATELY OUT WEIGH THE DESTRUCTION
IT COULD CAUSE.
