Not only that modern technology makes the world go round, it gives businesses a competitive edge.
Imagine the latest prototype of Amazon Prime Air drone unveiled.
Amazon has upgraded, designed and tested a new bigger drone, capable of delivering packages round the U.S. in 30 minutes or less.
This drone designed to access rural areas and suburbs in America takes off and lands vertically.
In the air it flies like a regular plane and pretty fast too; as explained by Mark Spoonauer, Tom's Guide Editor-in-Chief, in a CNBC interview.
He said it has a range of 15 miles and flies 55 miles per hour, speed enhanced with the drone's 8 propellers.

Amazon also remarked that they have in stock different designs for different environments and the drone built with a "sense and avoid" capability which it uses to detect obstacles and avoid crashing on it.
The drone delivers by scanning and spotting an amazon sign at the specific marked space in the delivery area or address, and then landing vertically on the spot; delivering, and vertically taking off without perching on the ground.
Usually a little territory at the backyard.
The only thing being waited for the onward deployment of this amazing miracle of modern technology is the approval of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, FAA.
They are currently developing regulations for the use of drones in U.S. both for recreational and commercial purposes in order to synchronize its uses for maximum safety.
Other companies like Google and Walmart are also working on drone usage for customer package delivery.
