I liked this project. I think is awesome the different uses that we can give to a specific technology; in this TED talk Lian uses drones  to help government to protect forest and the spices who live there from: hunters, wood industries, fires and agrarian expansions.  He explains that is much easier and cheaper send a small aircraft to patrol than, send groups of people wiz heavy equipment is difficult o realize than sending a high-tech machine instead of some people could be cheaper.  Drones are so cheaper because they don’t bough them in big companies, they use open source technology; this means that they are able to change ebery think making machines that have an specific function.  This open source technology doesn’t only exist I drones, nowadays everyone with a bit ob informatics is able to make his own creations. These machines will do what you exactly want them to do. They are the alternative to generic industry products created to satisfy a group but, not necessary to satisfy your deficiencies.
