Impact of Drones

 

Many action-packed games and movies, recently released have one common feature, the presence & importance of drones.

In this blog I am going to look at some games and movies which heavily evolve around the usage of drones and what possibly lies in store for the future.

Watch Dogs: Legion

Game set in post-Brexit London

In mid-2020s London, years following Brexit in 2016, various computer hacker groups form together to take down a surveillance state, ruled by corrupt government officials, utilising a new upgraded version of CtOS to spy on citizens specifically focusing on the advent of security drones patrolling the skies.

Eye In the Sky

A multinational team works on a capture mission, by using aerial surveillance  provided by a USAF MQ-9 Reaper drone controlled from Creech Air Force Base in Nevada. The film revolves around morality and the impact of drone usage and modern warfare. (Wikipedia, 2020)
