Now the Drones are set to deliver Newspapers , in France.

Drones are about to go postal in Auvergne, a province in south central France.
In collaboration with drone-maker Parrot, local postal service La Poste Group will deliver mail via quadricopter drones as early as May of this year, the group recently announced on its blog.
The group is already testing the “Parrot Air Drone Postal” service in Auvergne with a team of 20 postal workers and 20 drones. The postal workers can control the drones by an iPod Touch, iPhone, and Android devices using Parrot’s smartphone app.
Drones are becoming more commonplace these days, with thousands of hobbyists building their own and sharing their experiences on sites like DIYdrones.com. Meanwhile, companies like FedEx are anxiously waiting for the day when drones are admitted to standard U.S. air space.
Already, companies like FedEx are counting the days until drones are admitted to standard US airspace. The FAA will officially allow it starting in 2015, but the drones cannot fly higher than 400 feet above the ground and must be at least five miles away from any airport.
FedEx wants to be able to use drones to transport packages, rather than having to rely on passenger planes. That’s because passenger planes need to be pressurized, which is expensive, and they also can’t fly in formation, which is much more efficient.
In the Eastern Philosophies Mind, unlike the Occidental Philosophies,is considered to be an Organ like the other sense organs.
Indian Systems like the Nyaya,Yoga and Vaiseshika treat the difference between Mind and Matter(including the sense organs) as one of Degree and not in kind.
The more the vibrations, subtler the object becomes.The Mind vibrates at a Higher Frequency than Matter.
Therefore it is not perceived by the sense organs.
If the sense organs were made to tune to the higher frequency of The Mind or The Mind made to vibrate at a lesser frequency to match the sense organs ,then the communication is possible.
However, these systems state that neither is possible.
But one Mind can be made to tune into the wave length of the other Mind.
The principle behind this is that there is a Universal Mind and the Individual Minds appear to be so because of TIME ,Space and The Vaasanas( the unique remnant traces of actions performed either through Mind,Words, or Actions)
They have discovered that it is possible , by practice and determination the Mind can be made to oscillate at different frequencies and thus enables one to achieve Clairvoyance, Clairaudience Kinestasis,Telepathy and Transcending the barrier of Time and Space.
The Buddhists are adept in these functional area and many of the Lamas practice this even to-day.
Now The Chinese seem to have a developed a Mind Controlled Drone, which obeys Mental Commands .
This seems to be based on a Theory not explained .
The theoretical base is to be examined.
It looks that the thought waves from the Brain are fed into a PC , converted into Mechanical Commands and the connection is set to the Drone.
To get the drone to raise or to land, a user would need to “think left” hard. “Think left lightly” if you want to rotate clockwise and “right” if you want it to lurch forward. Give it a lift in the air by thinking “push.” And imagine clenching it if you want to bring it back down to earth.
But moving around is not the only task it can do. Remember how they tell you to avoid blinking when taking photos? Well here it’s the opposite: blinking is the command that tells the drone to photograph its environs.
The video shows a man in a wheelchair using the technology to get a closer view of flowers, to take pictures and even to guide his drone through a battle with another quadrotor controlled through a handheld remote control. Needless to say, mind triumphs over matter and the hand-managed drone is hustled off the mat by its thought-controlled analog.
The students hope their technology will be able to help disabled people become more interactive with the world around them, and are slated to present their invention at the ACM International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (Ubicomp), which will be held next week in Pittsburg.
While handicap assistance and gaming is one potential application for the system, only the imagination can limit the potential uses mind-controlled drones could have in the future, both for civilian and other purposes.
