I will disagree with it. I don't worry about my privacy because of drones.
2. I would like drones to deliver things to my home.
For sure that will be innovative. I watched some movies with that type of delivery.
And it looks wonderful. You can order anything you want and it will be delivery by drones.
Sounds good!
3. Drones could cause serious accident.
Yes of course. Drones are very dangerous. The best of them can be controlled from thousands kilometres.
So the countries can spy each other from thousands kilometres with no risk. We heard about that examples, like the USA and Russia.
4. Drones are noisier than cars. You can't hear yourself think!
Yea it is true drones are loud but I think in future that can be optimized.
5.I'd like to travel in a drone taxi in the future if it is possible.
Oh that will be innovative too. It is really creative.
I think i will try it if it possible.
6. Drones are just harmless fun.
I don't think so. I explain it in point 3. This is simple. "Drones are very dangerous. The best of them can be controlled from thousands kilometres.
So the countries can spy each other from thousands kilometres with no risk."

I slightly agree with that because it worries me a little. Why only a little? It is because we already do not have much privacy online and we are for example, recorded by security cameras. If we think of that we can come to the conclusion that we are getting “spied on” all the time. Of course, I would not be very happy if I saw a drone outside my window, but in public it does not make much of a difference to me.
2. I would like drones to deliver things to my home.
Yes, definitely, I would like drones to deliver things to my home. It would make everything so much easier. For example, a drone can just leave the package on the doorstep, which is not the case with traditional ways of delivery. When our package is delivered by a courier we sometimes do not make it in time to pick it up, and for me that is the biggest issue.
3. Drones could cause serious accidents.
I do not think that drones could cause serious accidents. If they are operated properly, there is nothing to worry about. Of course, if there were some technical issues it can bump into a car or a pedestrian, but I do not think it could cause that serious damage. When it comes to airplanes, the situation becomes different. Drone can cause very big damage if it interrupts a plane starting, and that is why drone no-fly zones should be well controlled.
4. Drones are noisier than cars. You can’t hear yourself think.
It is completely not true. I owned a drone and it made minimal noise. Cars on the other hand, especially the old ones, are very loud. If I were to think on something important and I would have to choose between thinking in a room with a started car or a flying drone, I would choose a room with a drone without hesitation.
5. I’d like to travel in a drone taxi in the future if it is possible.
Yes, absolutely, I’d like to travel in a drone taxi. I am all for modernization of vehicles that ride on the streets, and If it results in travelling in a drone taxi in the future, it makes things even better.
6. Drones are just harmless fun.
Of course, drones are fun, but they can be harmful too. We can’t be really sure if the drone flying above us is not recording at that time. As for military drones, they should always be operated by a human without any AI involved.

It would be awesome if drones would deliver things to our houses for us. You could order anything that drone can lift, for example food and instead of going out to buy it, which is a risky option because of pandemic situation, you could just wait for it to arrive and take, what you need.
Someone might think ”How would a drone cause any accident? It’s too small!”. Well of course drones aren’t the biggest devices, but still it can cause an accident. How? Well I saw a video of drone flying into the starting plane. They both flew directly onto each other this fast, which caused the wings of this plane to break!
I don’t have an opinion about noises that drones make. Of course we all know that cars are loud but are they more quiet than drones? I don’t know. I’ve never tested a drone.
Drone taxis would be amazing, but is it really possible? For me everything is possible, even flying in
a big drone, but why would we need to? We already have planes and helicopters.
For me drones are harmless fun. It is more fun if you dress your drone as a Grim Reaper and fly around and scare your neighbour.
Paweł Owczarek 1d
I don’t worry about this, because drones are quite big and I don’t know how drones could become over my privacy. If some drone would be flying around my home I will
just cover the blinds.
2. I would like drones to deliver things to my home.
No, I would like drones to deliver some things to my home, maybe yes but seldom, because if drones deliver things then many people would lose their jobs. Also drones would be more susceptible for destruction than people, because they are just machines. So I don't like drones delivering things to me, but it sounds interesting.
3. Drones could cause serious accidents.
I think that yes, they could be dangerous, they could be have faults and for example
fly in front of the car or something that, but generally everything could cause serious accidents.
4. Drones are noisier than cars. You can’t hear yourself think.
So I don’t know if it is that, but if drones would fly high they likely are quiet.
5. I’d like to travel in a drone taxi in the future if it is possible.
It would be cool, but likely it will be more dangerous than a normal car. So I think a drone taxi sounds cool, but this doesn't interest me much.
6. Drones are just harmless fun.
In my opinion everything is dangerous if we use this in the wrong way. If someone knows how to use drones and do it without sabotaging people or something else then drones are safe. But on the other side drones could be used by for example police and then drones aren't only toys, but also useful tools.

I do not fully agree with sentence 2. It would be nice if drones were delivering things straight to our home, it would improve the delivery speed. However, many people are working on delivering these things and most of them would be fired.
Yes, I agree with sentence 3, but if the drones operate on a larger scale, they will be controlled by special programs thanks to which there will be practically no accidents.
Yes, but as I wrote earlier, it is possible that in the future they will improve these drones so that they will fly quietly.
In my opinion, traveling by a drone taxi in the future is possible and it would greatly improve the movement. Thanks to this, there would not be so many traffic jams and we would get to the chosen place much faster.
I do not agree with sentence 6. Drones are toys, but they can hurt others. Among other things, when we fly it and go too far, we can lose control over it and there is a chance that it will fall on someone.
Gracjan Janicki 1D
I’m not really afraid about my privacy because of the drones. I don’t believe someone would use drones just to get involved in my life. Also, I think that more of our private life is leaked to the internet than drones could see.
2. I would like drones to deliver things to my house.
I think it would be very helpful if drones could deliver things to our houses. The delivery process would be much faster if drones will replace couriers. But as we know drones are just devices and they can fail, so in conclusion, we may wait for our package much longer than if the courier would deliver it.
3. Drones can cause serious accidents.
I don’t think drones can cause serious accidents. They can probably fly in a bird or high tension lines, but nothing more dangerous.
4. Drones are noisier than cars. You can’t hear yourself think!
Cars are definitely louder than the drones. Drones are just humming, while cars are sometimes extremely noisy. Also drowns usually fly as high that you can’t hear them in opposite to cars.
5. I’d like to travel in a drone taxi in the future if it is possible.
I would totally want to try drone taxi someday. I think it would be a little different, but probably very experiment. I hope one day in a future I will travel in a drone taxi.
6. Drones are just harmless fun.
Drones are obviously fun and they don’t cause any damage, but I think, that’s not everything we can use them for. In my opinion we should make something better of off it. We can use them, to transport medicals or to search and rescue people or for law enforcement.
Anna Drozd 1d
I agree with that because our privacy may be more violated. Drones hard to notice if they have good place to hide. The drone can track us and we don’t know about this or it can take the photos from the hide. Drones have lots of functions.
2. I would like drones to deliver things to my home.
I think this use about drones can will be very comfortable to us. We would have faster delivers than now but people would lost the job. Of course, there are always advantages and disadvantages.
3. Drones could cause serious accidents.
I think I could agree with that because it is very probably. The drone could break or could have technical issues. They could disturb on the ground if they have failures on the air.
4. Drones are noisier than cars. You can’t hear yourself think!
I disagree with that because in my opinion drones are quiet and quieter than cars for sure. You can’t hear the drone if you are outside the home because you don’t think about it or don’t see it.
5. I’d like to travel in a drone taxi in the future if it is possible.
I can’t imagine like that. Maybe in the future we could travel in something similar but I doubt it will be drones.
6. Drones are just harmless fun.
In my opinion I can’t see this like that because everything is for people but with moderation and health use it. Drones although don’t use on a daily basis, there are already examples of drones being a threat.
Wiktoria Osińska 1D
Actually, I don't worry about drones, yet but the technic is going forward and drones in the future will be better and they could go in every place so we can slowly get worried about our privacy.
2. I would like drones to deliver things to my house.
This thing could be very helpful If drones can deliver things to our houses. I think that will be faster, safer and in general better If the drones will be programmed well.
3. Drones can cause serious accidents.
I don't think that drones can cause serious accidents but If someone by an accident fly on someones hair or on driving car It could be very big accident.
4. Drones are noisier than cars. You can’t hear yourself think!
I think cars are noisier than drones but this depends of exhaust of car. Anyway, If I must to choose between sound of drone or sound of car engine, definietly I will choose real exhaust.
5. I’d like to travel in a drone taxi in the future if it is possible.
In the future, totally I will want to travel in a taxi drone. This could be nice adventure and a different thing than travel by car, bus or even plane.
6. Drones are just harmless fun.
I think that drones are very fun. My brother has a little drone and It is awesome. Drone is very fast and safe because he has plastic covers on propellers so It cannot hurt you.
Marek Domagalski 1D
1. I worry about my privacy because of drones. A little bit but still yes. So when I think a much more it’s creepy. In this wold we are being observed and invigilated by many different organisations. Nowadays our life is watched in many different ways and we don’t have privacy.
2. I would like drones to deliver things to my home. I think it’s a great idea. It will be much quicker than normal deliveries. That is the food deliveries won’t get cold. In my opinion this way will be much cheaper than normal.
3. Drones could causes serious accidents. Drones could also cause serious accidents too! When drone navigator is inexperienced it may cause an accident. An accident may also be when drone is piloted in the distance of many kilometres. So people who control them should be very careful.
4. Drones are noisier than cars. You can’t hear yourself things. Definitely not true. I never had an drone but when I see it a few times they didn’t make any noise but even when they did when they fly higher and higher you won't hear it.
5. I would like to travel in a drone taxi in the future if they possible. When it will be possible I would like to try it. It will be amazing trip with good view. So I hope it will be possible someday.
6. Drones are just harmless fun. Yeah they are really fun. I think the funniest thing of them is that you can have it in many different sizes like very small for child and quite big and professional too!
Hania Zalewska 1d
I agree with it. Honestly I’m worry about my privacy a little bit. We already don’t have much privacy because of all stuff which is relevant with the internet. I think that even if we are on the incognito mode we should be careful. Drones won’t help us with this. I really don’t want to see drone in front of my window! Curious neighbors also can eavesdrop me during really private call.
2. I would like drones deliver things to my house.
I agree with it. Delivering things by drones will be so much easier than for example take packages from package locker. We will also have our ordered food faster. Drones don’t have to stop on the traffic lights so it definitely be really fast.
3. Drones could cause serious accident.
I disagree with it. Firstly I don’t think so that drones can be dangerous. They’re made by really good drones specialists. Drones shouldn’t have short circuits or something like that however if they have they can’t do people anything serious. Let’s jus be honest, it’s only one or two kilograms. If drones will have a special camera, package or something then they can be dangerous.
4. Drones are noisier than cars.
I disagree. Drones are not loud especially not noisier than cars. Only drone’s discs are a little bit loud. Cars are definitely noisier. Moreover we are accustom to a lot of noise so it’s not the problem.
5. I’d like to travel in a drone taxi in the future.
I DISAGREE! Definitely not! I’m so scared of ,,flying cars”? What is that?! It’s very dangerous. I’m not gonna get in ,,flying taxi”. I’m a little afraid of normal cars so flying ones it’s not for me.
6. Drones are just harmless fun.
I kinda aggressive with it but it’s complicated. If you use drones for fun like doing photos of you and your family or friends or recording videos of your street- it’s okay. However you want to do something crazy, irresponsible like stalking, eavesdropping or etc it’s scary and may be dangerous.
Karolina Gąsior 1D
Yes I agree with that point because maybe somebody would like to follow me or observe me by the dron. I think If someone do something like that I would be uncomfortable and stressed.
2. I would like drones to deliver things to my home.
I think it would be an amazing idea! Because if drones would deliver parcels in the future, we will get our parcels faster than by standard delivery.
3. Drones could cause serious accidents.
I think drons also could cause serious accidents, because they’re only devices which can break. But i don’t worry about it because accidents always happen.
4. Drons are noisier than cars. You can’t hear yourself think!
I don’t agree with that point. In my opinion normal cars is noisier than drons. I think that noise is more acceptable than that of cars. Also cars pollute the air their exhaust fumes. But drones haven’t got engines, but they have discs, so they don’t do that.
5. I’d like to travel in a dron taxi in the future if it is possible.
I think it’ll be super fun in the future and it’ll be a new very interesting experience for me. I think it’s great idea because it’ll be a new means of communication. Also move by dron will be more ecological.
6. Drones are just harmless fun.
Yes i think drons are really fun . In my oppinion the best think of the is that you can choose your dron’s colour and size. I think it’s pretty cool, because you can choose what dron you want.
Weronika B 1D
I don’t worry about my privacy because of drones. I wasn’t in a situation when somebody was watching me from a drone. In my opinion we have less privacy on the Internet.
2. I would like drones to deliver things to my home.
I would like drones to deliver things to my home, because this will be very better than normal kind of delivering goods. This will be faster, because drones don’t get stuck in a traffic jam. When drones deliver things to my home it will be easier, but drones can make a mistake and for example can drop my pack.
3. Drones could cause serious accidents.
I agree with this, because drones could cause serious accidents. Drones could for example strike on cars or people.
4. Drones are noisier than cars. You can’t hear yourself think!
I don’t agree with this, because cars are much louder than drones. Usually drones fly high and I can hear myself think.
5. I’d like to travel in a drone taxi in the future if it is possible.
I think this would be cool. We will be able to move faster. We also will enjoy the view. It would be helpful, but I think it will be impossible, because drones are small and don’ t have enough power.
6. Drones are just harmless fun.
In my opinion when somebody knows how to use drones and don’ t use them to watch the people it is harmless fun. Drones aren’ t always a toy, because they are used by police to search and rescue.
