The History of Drones
The first experiments with drones were actually done during World War One. The military market was about 13.42 billion and the commercial drone market was about 29.86 billion in 2012. Drones can be for transport, surveillance or strikes but they are also used to carry out civilian jobs like photography. They have become increasingly cheap thanks to miniaturized components such as stabilization control and cameras from the early 2000s and 2010s.
