OK - just so everyone thinks that drones are the best thing since sliced bread - or fresh pizza.

Talking Drones With 3D Robotics CEO Chris Anderson - TechCrunch | Peer2Politics | Scoop.it

Many of the new drones we saw were little more than knockoffs of DJI’s extremely successful Phantom Vision line (though there were a few interestingexceptions). Maybe it’s no surprise then that the largest U.S.-based drone manufacturer, 3D Robotics, didn’t even have a booth at the show. Instead, 3D Robotics CEO Chris Anderson – the former editor-in-chief of Wired — toured the city with a drone in his backpack.
