"I know this looks like science fiction. It's not," Bezos told CBS television's "60 Minutes" programme. "We can do half-hour delivery... and we can carry objects, we think, up to five pounds (2.3 kilograms), which covers 86 percent of the items that we deliver."

I can only imagine my dogs reactions if they were outside and a drone flew into my yard to deliver a package. I doubt Amazon would be getting that drone back...

these are great ideas for a house... but if you lived in an apartment it wouldn't work that great....

of course in my line of work i am a little conserned, the parcel delivery is the future of the postal service, we are having huge gains in the market place every year.
