    Drones
    The first pilotless aircraft were invented in 1916; however, the first one to fly was known as the 'Kettering Bug,' and it flew in 1918. These aircraft made it possible to carry out dangerous missions during the first world war without having to have a pilot risk their life. Now people use drones to capture pictures and videos of places, otherwise, unreachable.
