Remote controlled planes and helicopters have been around for many years but they never caused the frenzy that we have seen with drones. They have invaded our psyche and become a part of our culture. This is the year that drones have emerged as a cultural phenomenon. You can quickly become the envy of your friends if you win one of the 3 incredible drones that Best Buy is awarding as prizes in this contest.
I am currently reading Dickens’ Bleak House, an amazing story that includes many references to 19th century culture. For example, on page 344 Dickens includes in his descriptions of the Smallweed family, a family that is basically born adult, presumably skipping childhood and childish things, numerous childish games and toys that were popular in his day:
| “… her twin brother couldn’t wind up a top for his life. He knows no more of Jack the Giant Killer or of Sinbad the Sailor than he knows of the people in the stars. He could as soon play at leap-frog or at cricket as change into a cricket or a frog himself.” |
I am sure that if Dickens was writing in 2016 he would include references to flying a drone. They are here to stay as more and more people are using them for more and more things. Here are the incredible drones we are offering as prizes in this contest and some of their key features:

I also think that the 25 minutes of flight time is a great feature for a Drone to have.
The rate of speed the Phantom 4 can fly and the distance it can go sounds great…but I would have to say the obstacles avoidance feature would be a huge help considering I’m not the greatest pilot…….I guess I need the practice.
I like that it has front obstacle avoidance. Even though it is easy to fly something tells me I would need the obstacle avoidance. LOL
