Summary:

This report compensates for what we believe is a shortage of impartial, basic, one-stop readings on the main drone points. It represents the culmination of what we have learned and taught over the past two years, presented in an accessible, straightforward way. Our hope is that the reader will gain a basic, comprehensive understanding of the key issues and, more importantly, a desire to keep learning about them. Understanding the drone is prerequisite to developing the right policies and attitudes to govern its use. And to understand the drone, it's important to know its history, how it works, and how it's used. One should have a sense of the main themes and patterns, and hear one or two informed predictions about the future.
