I’ll admit it, I was pretty pumped the first time I got to fly a drone. Granted, it was
indoors with a dinky little quadcopter some company sent us to review, but it felt cool, like the first time I giddily grabbed ahold of a remote-controlled car as a kid. It's no wonder they're so damn popular. They're fun as hell.
But the honeymoon phase swiftly faded, and it wasn't just because I was viciously dive-bombed by one in broad daylight at the park. Let me just say what everyone else has been thinking: toy drones are really, really dumb. Maybe you disagree -- hell, you might even be one of the million people who got one for Christmas last year, but hear me out. https://www.thrillist.com/tech/nation/lets-admit-it-drones-are-annoying-and-dumb/tech
