We first had that discussion some 10 years ago. They're not taking the world by storm, we know that much.

They are a worse variant of the fireworks we know, but they're different enough to be something else. Cost and regulatory overhead has meant that we haven't fully explored what that could be. Drones work at a completely different speed, and with a different language. Much slower, much more docile. More female, if you will.

The same way that good firework is an art form, a good drone show is a whole choreography, and must be treated as such. It is neither a flashing firework, not a hovering dot matrix display.

Stuff is hard.
