The Positive Implications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) in Society or "How Drones Help"

There are infinite possibilities for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV'S), dubbed by the media with the evil pseudonym of "drone," to accomplish great feats for the betterment of our world.  Many of these possibilities are limited by the lack of support by the public.  With public support for these little autonomous machines and acceptance by the media, the implications of a UAV-Aided Society could make grave improvements to our society.  A UAV-Aided Society could: improve our aging transportation infrastructure, provide better healthcare to undeveloped countries, protect endangered wildlife from illegal poaching, give the disabled an outlet for expressing themselves, and much much more.  Many of the current challenges facing UAV technology are in fact due to the public's negative perceptions of what they are portrayed to do.  Challenges such as integrating UAV's into national airspace and gaining funding to pursue better research are difficult to overcome without public support.  Below are a few videos (courtesy of TED) showing some examples of how UAV's could help make our world a better place.  This is only a fraction of the endless possibilities for these machines to help develop our society; only limited by our creative imaginations...
