Google Buys Drone Manufacturer Titan Aerospace

Google's purchase of Titan Aerospace, a manufacturer of solar-powered drones, is the latest expression of interest in drones, for any number of potential applications, by Amazon, Facebook and Google. 



Aside from providing Internet access, Titan seems to have capabilities in mapping, something of high interest for applications such as Google Maps. Amazon of course has suggested drones could be used for small package delivery. 



Facebook initially has suggested drones could be used to support Internet access in many areas of higher population density.

When Was the Last Time 40% of all Humans Shared Something, Together?

I miss these sorts of huge global events where 40 percent of living humans share a chance to build something for others.
