Actually-

On the flocking little flying beasts with spy cams, the military already has LOTS of them, not to mention all the larger models with on-board weapons systems. If you are a History Channel fan like I am you can see lots of stuff like that- the newest versions in development- but probably five years away, are flying robotic FLYS with spy cams. They are using the FLY concept because they have HOVER capabilities, and would, of course, be pretty darn hard to notice.

But "News" organizations are already very interested in using the larger, currently deployed flying spy-cams as they can largely replace TRAFFIC helicopters (nobody actually HAS to be in a helicopter announcing traffic reports- they only need to see what the traffic- 20-30 flying drone-cams can cover a much larger area and cost a heck of a lot less.)

Re: Game TV- if you think that isn't a HUGE coming thing and very likely the NEXT BIG "Entertainment" THING, you HAVE spent too much time in school! Remember- B.S.- (Bull St), M.S. (More St) and the PhD (Piled Higher and Deeper) As B. Dylan said- you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows! GAME TV will be coming SOON on a Satellite-Cable channel near you- WITH Virtual People,
controlled by home software units, as in: Play Station, XBOX, etc.
