Stun gun Drone

This article was about a team from the company Chaotic Moon that invented a drone called CUPID( Chaotic Unmanned Personal Intercept Drone). This drone can fly and is packed with a stun gun that has a  80,000 volt shock. The company claims that the goal of this drone was to raise awareness of the advancement of technology. Chief innovator Hurley stated, " Drone technology is not inherently good or bad,[but]... we need to understand the potential impacts". Unsurprisingly, the drone got a lot of positive feedback; the only negative was if it became commercially available.

The biggest connections to class would be with my English class. We recently discussed morals when we discussed the holocaust. This is an excellent example of that. It is an example because of the reason the people created the drone. They said that they wanted to create this to give society a wake up call as to what drones can actually do. They wanted people to decide if the technology was good or bad based off their morals.


I honestly think that the drone itself is awesome. This could be a great tool for maybe law enforcement agencies. They can catch perpetrators and not have to risk human lives. I also like the idea behind why the drone was created. I think that the people who made it were right to show society just what technology can do. I think they made the right choice to try and warn us.

I chose to answer: How does the structure of the text refine and support the author’s claim? 
The structure of the text refines the authors claim by stating the claim, then by providing supporting details. To introduce his claim, the author states," Drone technology is not inherently good or bad,[but]... we need to understand the potential impacts". To provide supporting details, the author states, "The biggest negative reaction, he says, has been from people who think CUPID will be made commercially available".
