Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos has big plans for drones. You'll know what they are after watching this awe-inspiring clip that finally fulfills at least some of the robot wonder predicted by Epcot's now-defunct Horizons ride. A man places an order on his tablet. A box rolls across a "fulfillment center" until it slides into the jaws of a not-scary-but-not-friendly-looking drone (fully autonomous ones by the way, according to Bezos). The landing takes place in front of the man's house, though not too close, and the drone leaves. The End.

Of course, the video shows only one drone streaking across the clear blue sky. But think about it: how many drones could you personally have going at once on this quiet Sunday night? And I'm not just talking about Amazon.com, because the same thing holding them back from doing this right now is the same as everyone else, including your local cops: the FAA doesn't allow drone armies at the moment.

So you're on the couch, needing things tonight. Dinner. A book. Dessert? Some Drano. Advil. A pack of undershirts because you just realized you ran out. Now think about Black Friday 2018 -- the year Bezos hopes his program will be up and running. The skies may very well turn black with drones bearing gifts. Maybe we'll get used to it. Maybe it will seem a lot safer and nicer than all those clogged up highways and parking lots. Maybe we should all watch this video a few more times and think about what it really means.
