Un bell’articolo racconta la storia dei droni, macchine che rappresentano una summa dell’avanzamento tecnologico in ambito militare, e che iniziano ad essere immaginati già nel 1898 da Nikola Tesla.

Despite the futuristic concept of robotic air warfare, drone technology goes back a hundred years. The technological groundwork was first established by genius inventor Nikola Tesla, who introduced radio-control technology at Madison Square Garden in 1898. Tesla immediately realized his invention’s military potential, noting that the technology would allow man to build devastating remote weapons that would be a deterrent so inhuman and destructive that, in his imagination, they would “lead to permanent peace between the nations.”
