Get ready to bow at the feet of our robot overlords!

Check out Robo-Fly in action:
Amazing. I would like a cloud of them surrounding me at all times. They could protect you from UV overexposure, visually filter out billboards and ads, hide your identity, run errands, provide security…
And that’s just one tiny facet of personal use. Miniature robotic flies could track bird migration, deter crime, tend to and nurture flowers. Their uses are nearly limitless.
What do y’all think? Run and hide? Dance and smile?
