Those Amazon Prime Air drones exist NOW. I saw them on "60 Minutes." Plus, they are NOT operated by humans. That beats our present NSA and CIA drones which do have human operators.

Bezos said they will be fully automated. The program showed one coming down from 2 miles up, notifying the homeowner by telephone who met it at his door.

That should put FEDEX and UPS OUT OF BUSINESS. Plus, without humans unemployment of truck drivers will soar.

Personally, I think SOME of us will be beta testing it NEXT YEAR. I also think Bezos will put pressure on the FAA to get approval in late 2014 just in time for next Christmas.

Next year's Kindle HDXY will probably control one's own delivery by signaling direct to the drone.

Right NOW the Kindle Fire HDX 2013 can get an immediate connection to a live human in a video on one's screen. The HDXY will probably connect direct to the drone and schedule a perfectly timed delivery - the package will not be dropped at the door until the homeowner can answer the door. Thus, it cannot be stolen as today's dropped packages can.
