I wonder what percentage of the american population really knows what drones are?

Reminds me of opinions of cars at the turn of the century (1900): "To the average city dweller, the idea of a city oriented around transportation in cars, and especially privately owned cars carrying one or a few people, would have been incomprehensible. Indeed, the modern idea of a street as an artery, existing primarily to convey vehicles, would have been foreign, says Christopher W. Wells, author of Car Country: An Environmental History" (http://nautil.us/issue/7/waste/did-cars-save-our-cities-from...)


That was fast. Great job guys!


It would be nice to contribute details about any country, rather than the one that you were randomly born into. Also, adding some demographic details from wikipedia (life expectancy, infant mortality rate, average income, etc) would be cool and useful.


I was listening to an episode of the Jamil show (A homebrew podcast) interviewing Annie Johnson, last years american homebrewer of the year and the brewmaster for PicoBrew. She creates recipes for the machine that users can download, as well as helping to qa / guide the product. She brought in samples from the machine to compare with samples that she brewed traditionally. The hosts (many of whom are respected BJCP judges) were blown away by the quality, and opined that this machine should be banned from brewing competitions because of the advantage it would confer.
