AS1967 announced to a shocked media, that it will be the World's first blog delivered by Drone. Speaking at the annual AS1967 Conference, Angry Since 1967 claimed "we've always been at the forefront of bandwagons. We tweeted, twerked, prinked, happy-slapped, memed, viralled, kickstarted, crowd sourced, flash-mobbed, You-Tubed, Liked and even Woollarded, before any of our competitors even knew what these were. Now, as the globe stands poised on the cusp of next media circle fuck, we at Angry Since 1967 make the paradigm shift real. This blog will be the first delivered by Drone. "Droning" will redefine the social media ecosystem and render everything else obsolete."
Following the announcement speculation mounted as to how this would be actually delivered or what the precise mechanics of this would entail. Would, for example Drone's despatch copies of the blog directly to subscribers? If so, how would that work exactly? Will they need a licence to fly these Drones? Does the CAA need to be informed? And what happens if there is a catastrophic failure? Wouldn't they need to have a single person allocated to fly each Drone? Will they be controlled from line of sight or remotely? And if remotely, again how would that work? Will they be flown from central control room? Will the deliveries be any quicker? Won't the Drone only be able to deliver one thing at a time before it has to fly back to base - where ever that base may be located? Are they allowed to fly these Drone's during the hours of darkness? Isn't likely to be more expensive to build an entirely new and (frankly) unnecessary infrastructure to support this mechanism when a very efficient delivery system already exists? Won't the public end up paying more for delivery? Why not just use the Post Office? And a whole host of other questions which no-one has bothered asking, let alone answering. Dismissing these queries as "old media, obstructionist thinking" AS1967 said "trust me, it will just work"
