 '''The Traffic of Packages'''
-Without getting into the obvious inevitable issues of hacking, jacking etc. of the drones, we can still talk about the traffic of packages. How many customers will Amazon have in any given time for the PrimeAir drone service? When one examines the contents of the current neighborhood shipping route delivery trucks, and breaks it into its package components (the packages that are their cargo) and attaches each one to a drone, that is what it will be like. Thousands of couriers are dependent upon regular delivery for their livelihoods. That didn't get any coverage, but will also be a part of this story. Couriers work hard.

−	Applin and Fischer have worked on PolySocial Reality (PoSR) as a way of defining and modelling messaging relationships between humans/humans, human/machines, and machines/machines. The outcomes of PoSR can be both brittle and fragmented or unified and connected, depending upon synchronicity levels and connections. We require situational synchronisation and connection for cooperation, which is the successful outcome that humans need to survive.	+	Applin and Fischer have worked on [http://posr.org/wiki/Main_Page PolySocial Reality (PoSR)] as a way of defining and modelling messaging relationships between humans/humans, human/machines, and machines/machines.

−	Imagine some percentage of those packages as being 5 pounds or less. The numbers above were for one driver, working for one company ~~(and you can bet Amazon isn't going to be the only one with drone service)~~ five years ago. There are more people, and more packages now, thus making the following a fairly conservative estimate. There will be at any given time 300+ drone packages flying through a neighborhood--per vendor (the equivalent of each truck). Furthermore, Amazon's drones are going to be part of a fleet of drones that includes UPS drones, FedEx drones, USPS drones, real estate drones, restaurant delivery drones, individual personal drones, government drones, police drones, etc. The sky is going to be littered with drones.	+	Imagine some percentage of those packages as being 5 pounds or less.
