UAVs Are...
"A new technology sometimes creates more than it destroys. Sometimes, it destroys more than it creates. But it is never one-sided.
The invention of the printing press is an excellent example. Printing fostered the modern idea of individuality but it destroyed the medieval sense of community and social integration. Printing created prose but made poetry into an exotic and elitist form of expression. Printing made modern science possible but transformed religious sensibility into an exercise in superstition. Printing assisted in the growth of the nation-state but, in so doing, made patriotism into a sordid if not a murderous emotion.
Another way of saying this is that a new technology tends to favor some groups of people and harms other groups. School teachers, for example, will, in the long run, probably be made obsolete by television, as blacksmiths were made obsolete by the automobile, as balladeers were made obsolete by the printing press. Technological change, in other words, always results in winners and losers."

Good thoughts! I guess my point is the survey rags are going crazy over UAV's when I believe the reality is these will be used by a much larger segment of society than just Surveyors and mappers. We see that with most technology of the last few years, surveying isn't the biggest user of GNSS, and I dare say even laser scanners. I have had a few conversations with aerial mappers who think UAV'S are the next big thing, I agree, I just don't believe traditional mapping firms will be the biggest users, more like end users will buy their own instead of contracting this out as has been the traditional route with full size aircraft.

Resistance is Futile
Why should we fight it?
The unmanifest WILL become the Manifest; no matter what we do. The more we resist, the longer it will take, is all....
As shown here, in this diagram:
