Cheers for your imputs & very old fashion beliefs by some of you out their.
Yes we all laughed at the Jetsons cartoons on TV some 25-30 years ago & thought it was so futuristic at that time & it would never happen.
GEE HOW WRONG WERE WE ALL!
Did all you guys say 30 year ago that we would only ever use a fixed to the wall land line home phone, their will never be a small phone you can carry around with you in your pocket with no phone cord strapped to a wall & you can make a call to anywhere in the world at anytime while on the move or stationary.
Yep its called a mobile phone or Cell phone.
My local beaches are in the process of phasing out a pilot driven Cessna 152 beach patrol aircraft & replacing it with a number of unmanned drones controlled from a ground station. The drones can cover a much larger distance & send such incredible & large amount of hi-tech info & photos back to home base. Much more useful than a pilot in a Cessna 152 radioing back to home base every so often to say he thinks he may have seen something & to please send out the cavelrie to further investigate.
Pilots will become ground based not cockpit based in the future, they will work from ground base control centres & be required to monitor & rectify situations as needed.
The ground base control centres could be airport control towers. The pilots would work side by side with air traffic controllers in the airport control towers.
Just like our modern container cargo shiping terminals are now controlled by a control centre with 6 or so people working within the control centre to load & unload multiple ships at 1 time with radio or GPS operated cranes.
Never say never.
