Yup -- I think it's true. Robot drones will be following our kids around, and we won't think much of it... Until suddenly it stops, maybe thirty years hence, when the next great robot enhancement arrives -- and we're not invited, we're too primitive, by an order of magnitude. I warned you.

Hmm... Sounds like it's time to learn how an EMP works....

Or just a well place rock throw.

I want something I can trigger without being seen to trigger it. For example, govt. drone is following you, if you throw a rock at it, you've committed a crime, and it's been recorded, whereas EMP: "I don't have any idea what happened officers... It just fell out of the sky, I'm glad it didn't hit me in the head!"

what a horrible horrible idea. I will prep my shotgun.

There are already pre-orders for a drone that will follow you. It's called Lily. Ships in 2016 - https://www.lily.camera/
