ThrowForward Thursday 92: Drones - everywhere, doing much more than you imagine

We might think of drones as toys, and maybe as a way to take great videos or entertain the kids.

JOIN ME NEXT WEEK as we look at how drones might be useful in your industry, and even if they're not we will talk about applying a futurist mindset to asking "what if" about new technology that has the potential to not just improve but also change your work dramatically. ***** FURTHER READING AND DETAILS: Future of fireworks and entertainment - https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dipl-ing-lars-behrendt_innovation-creativity-entrepreneurship-activity-7014527609132732416-ullo - https://youtu.be/tcoIUd9Y3-w
