Have you heard ‘Drone Ships’ by BBC World Service Radio on #SoundCloud?  #mscedc

I have included this clip as I thought it demonstrated a potential use for technology that could save human lives. Although, there is evidence that implies that shipping is becoming safer anyway.  International Shipping Facts and Figures – Information Resources on Trade, Safety, Security, Environment.

It also discusses the problem of international regulations that will need rewriting to meet the needs of future technology. And explains that human labour will be removed from the ships to the docks.

“The type of jobs will be new. Society is evolving all of the time. And this is just the natural continuation of making one part of society more efficient.”
