future prediction
within about 10 - 15 years
every phone will be a drone
that is every phone will be able to fly to some extent
as things are now DJI drones have a lot of tech overlap with a phone, as things get smaller it will eventually be the next feature to have a phone be able to have limited and then increasing flight capabilites.
You will carry you phone if you want, but it will be pretty much undropable as it can fly- which will be the first limited uses case, it will also apeal to the selfies as it can just follow you, will land your backpack or docking site on your arm band to recharge
then be use as a way to record anytime you want what you are doing good for arguments, and witness of events.
the next step will be to weaponise with small exposive charges, as self defensive measures.
As to warfare pretty much all important areas will be seeded with miliatry drones/police ready to go, makeing covnential warfare pretty much finished as your tank, plane whatever just blows up as soon as it enterrs enemy territory.
Wide mass drone seeds just gets around all the issues of have to train robots to walk, costs etc.
Probally only deep sea subs will be safe and even then maybe not
the real kicker will be the local police ones.
if they hear you raise your voice at the wrong person, or say [or think] the N word or be unwoke your head gets droneblown.
And sure you can emp the first 50 or 100 or whatever but they can swarm in there 1000's and just cut the motors and drop in your general area from height.
Orwell almost had it right, but it not a foot stamping on you face for ever drone its a explodeing your head
