Mom and dad probably aren't into extreme sports or spending $500 on toys either, though. Which is why I think in a lot of these new drone ideas are disconnected from their target audience.


What? Parents have been buying GoPros as Christmas presents for their kids to film their skiing down a blue square run at Stratton in droves. The last time I was at a resort like that it seemed like every other 13 year old kid had a video camera to capture their day.

I don't want to see the drones flying at the mountain when I ski, but the blocker is definitely not lack of parents with money willing to blow it on stupid toys for their kids.
