Military Weapons are Getting Smaller

As I was browsing the internet, I came across an article that first made me want to say, what next? The article was about a new mechanical hummingbird. This is not a new toy but a spy weapon for the military. The article says that the Pentagon has spent four million dollars on this project. The weapon can move up, down, forward, and backward. The thing, i hope does not happen is that when these things are finally released or maybe even before that , that we do not see the world's hummingbird population drop. The full article can be found at:http://n.pr/eadMKX

  1. It kinda makes you nervous doesn't it?? The fact that not only equpiment is getting smaller, but its getting smarter and we're spending more and more money on it to perfect it... It makes me think that soon the world will just be made up of robots and they won't need us anymore lol!!

  2. I think its an ingeneous use of technology. With the way the world is going at the present, having a one up on weaponry is exactly what the US needs

  3. WOW! Not only can the government watch our enemies they can watch us! It’s a little scarry how technology is so vast and growing constantly. I think as long as this weapon and other weapons used with good intent, and they don’t fall into the wrong hands we should be safe!

  4. I think it's a great invention, especially for spy missions because people may think it's just a bird, but the sound needs a little work, because someone is bound to figure out that it's not a regular hummingbird. Maybe they could come up with a bug or something,the bird is a great idea and I'm sure it will become very helpful.
