As drone usage has steadily increased in military usage, it has been even more drastically increasing in recreational use. From hunting, to music festivals, sports events, to hiking, drone usage has seeped into everyday activities that were previously in-person viewing experiences; each having a single viewpoint that could maybe be captured by a camera. With drones, however, one can be watching a scene right from high in the sky, having a completely different point of view from where the drone pilot is. Recreational drone usage is for a pilot's desire to capture a larger-than-life viewing experience.

But isn't drone usage taking away from the actual viewing experience of events? As people watch through the screen, they are not watching the actual events. Obsessed with the drone view, reality becomes less and less desirable. The atmosphere of fun and excitement that originated from these types of events (ie music videos, sports, etc) is becoming commodified with the introduction of drones and surveillance. 

But what happens if the drone breaks? Falls to the ground as the batteries die? Why is is that a drones failure is such a problem? Recreational drones have illuminated the standards people hold on technology.
