Steve Wozniak calls us all dogs, in a nice way - funspygadgets

Steve Wozniak has weighed in on the matter, and it turns out we’ve pretty much lost.

By hovering over the terrain, the craft was able to get relatively up close and personal with zebras, elephants and other wildlife, without creating the same kind of disturbance that heavy duty, camera-laden trucks can wreak. Presumably, that’s because the animals have no idea what to make of a flying robot, though part of us wants to believe there’s some sort of full-circle, techno-evolutionary dynamic at work here, momentously bringing bot and beast together in some sort of pre-apocalyptic symbiosis
