Are we actually ready for a sky full of delivery bots?
in Random / Off-topic ·
I was sitting on my porch yesterday watching a hawk circle overhead, and I couldn't help but wonder how much more crowded that view is going to get in a few years. It feels like every time I turn around, there's some new tech company trying to automate a part of life that used to be purely human or just... quiet.
I know the convenience argument is huge—nobody wants to wait an hour for a burrito when they could have it in ten minutes—but I have real doubts about the logistics and the sheer noise pollution. I can already imagine the constant buzzing sound hovering outside my window while I'm trying to read or sleep. It feels like we're trading away the peace of our neighborhoods for a bit of extra speed.
Does anyone else feel a bit of "tech fatigue" when it comes to these rapid-fire automation updates, or am I just being a luddite?
