Film: Eye In The Sky directed by: Gavin Hood

An interesting film about modern day warfare with drones.  It depicts the stark differences between those in the decision making process, the pilot in comfortable isolation, and the country where the drone is operating

I think in some ways the film made some points unknowingly.  The ridiculously long multi timezone chain of command which was made possible by ubiquitous communications.  We were perhaps intended to marvel how modern technology has made this possible, but for me it just felt like modern technology making a job ten times harder than it should have been.

Although it featured modern day drones it pointed to a future were micro drones are used for surveillance.  I am not sure how far this is off, but it just shows how fast the ideas in this area are developing.
