It was 1975 and I was just six years old. My parents took me to see Jaws on the big screen. When I left the theater I swore to never step foot in the ocean again. I knew I would be safe on land and any threat of a water attack could never happen if I avoided the surf.

I recently interviewed New York Times Best Selling author Daniel Suarez – who just released his third techno-thriller novel – Kill Decision. Daniel Suarez talks about autonomous swarming drones and the possible threats that these man-made contraptions bring to the world. If you want to read a great novel, make sure to pick up a copy of Kill Decision.

My passion is to teach about the positive uses of emerging technologies while raising awareness to the potential downside of innovation. I have dedicated my life to teaming up with ewarriors around the globe to protect the innocent in this lifelong mission. "The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it." --- by William James is my favorite quote. 
Tazers … or lasers? It occurred to me recently that a small green-laser equipped drone could use face recognition to permanently blind selected targets. “Look, there’s a drone!” “Don’t look – it’s a laser drone!” It was the last thing I ever saw …
Kevin, Thanks for the post. Tasers, Lazers, heat blasts, sound blasts – It can be anything…..
