7 Reasons Why Drones are the Future of Business Try to find a businessperson who won't be affected by drone technology in some way, shape, or form over the next few years. Go ahead, I dare you. It's a hard task because drones are going to change everything. To better understand how drones - also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), or Miniature Pilotless Aircraft - will impact us mere mortals, I turned to Greg McNeal, one of the top experts in drone technology. I spoke to McNeal for my  FUTUREPROOF. podcas t since he's the co-founder of  AirMap , the leading airspace services platform; he's also a professor at Pepperdine University, and a frequent keynote speaker on unmanned aircraft and innovation policy. In other words, if there's anything you ever need to ask anybody about drones, McNeal is your guy. Here are some of the reasons why drones will be big: #1: Drones won't necessarily be bad for employment prospects. Some jobs might go away, but th...

  The 5 Biggest Technology Trends In 2022 There are a lot of great books being published these days on the subject of artificial intelligence, as human authors attempt to tackle the technical, philosophical, and societal challenges posed by our growing reliance on smart machines. One I have recently enjoyed and also found highly thought-provoking is   Radically Human: How New Technology is Transforming Business and Reshaping our Future , by Paul Daugherty.

Musk is hinting that he wants the platform to play somewhere in middle. The SpaceX owner wrote that since he acquired the platform, “attacks are coming thick and fast, primarily...
