English 402 Newsletter About Drones

For my English class I designed a newsletter that discussed my findings about peoples perceptions about drones. I created the survey a couple of days before Turkey Day and put it on the website fluidsurveys where I needed at least fifteen different responses. Once I got the responses I needed, I then compared the data to see if there was anything interesting. I found that a majority of people were comfortable with drones when they were used by the military, but not many were comfortable when they are being used domestically by companies like Amazon. Amazon is considering implementing their drones delivery system soon, and it's bothering many people. I use Amazon frequently to buy things that are not available in my small town of Othello, so something like drone delivery would come in handy for people in small towns like me. For those who don't shop online very frequently, something like drone delivery wouldn't be as helpful. The on;y problem I have with drones is that if they are being abused and being used for purposes that harm others, like acts of terrorism. I've seen a TV show called "Fugitivos de la Ley" which is spanish for fugitives of the law, and they were using a drone to observe a hostile gang related area and it worked out well. As long as drones are being used by responsible people, I wouldn't have a problem with them being used
