Remember when you watch a spy movie, especially James Bond, we would see all this nice equipment to spy on people. That has now become a reality with new technological spyware against our foriegn enemy. A company in Southern California called " AeroVironment" has created this new technology to spy on people and they won;t even know it. This new technology is in the shape of a Hummingbird. And it's also called "The Nano- Hummingbird".
The Nano-Hummingbird can do anything that the military cannot reach or see. This new piece of technology has high definition sound and can take multiple pictures. The troops are very positive about this because it can go anywhere that man cannot go. It can also locate people in destroyed building such as what happened in Haiti. The Nano-Hummingbird can last for about a week before recharching and can reach altitudes of fifty-five to sixty-five thousand feet in the air.
In my opinion this is great for the military. The military needs this type of technology to spy on our enemies before they make an attack. On the other hand, if it fell into the wrong hands, that would be terrible. I just hope that our government does not take advantage of it to spy on the American people. On the positve note, this is a great day for the military for having The Nano-Hummingbird.

I'm in the military and we do need better spy equipment, because most of the equipment that we have now is very outdated. So, i think that this new technology will definitely give us a heads-up on the enemy and their schemes and tactics.
ReplyDeleteI have to disagree. I say this because I believe that it is wrong in knowing these things and this is going to far. I think if we have the technology then everyone else does to or will. In short too scary...
ReplyDeleteI would have to agree with Matt but i also understand Jamario's point of view. Technology is very useful specially in war but what happens when this gets to be used by those who do not care about others? too scary indeed.
ReplyDeleteI think technology and new creations are a wonderful thing, and I'm always interested in seeing what's out there, but just because we are technologically advanced enough to create something doesn't mean we have to create it. When something new like that (spyware) is created specifically for the use of one group, it someone is made for other people to get their hands on and more than likely one of those people will use it for "evil" rather than "good." There is already way too much invasion of privacy going on...we need to make things better, not worse.
