The Drone

You use it every day. It is a basic part of life now. Maybe it’s the flicker of the radio Or the buzz of a computer. It is used every day to make our lives simpler and less stressful. Is it really helping us though? It does make our life simpler But is this a downward spiral into emotionless and effortless life? A life where instead of real soldiers with real emotions are sent to fight, A drone controlled by someone at a computer is used to kill innocent civilians. The drone is emotionless. No compassion for other beings and no feeling of guilt or regret. This is the future, an emotionless drone controlled by someone at a computer.
