Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bizos revealed in a 60 Minutes segment this weekend that flying drones may soon be delivering Amazon.com packages to customers.

By using drones, Bezos says Amazon hopes to deliver products within 30 minutes.  “I know this looks like science fiction. It’s not,” Bizos said.

Amazon.com is one of the world’s largest online retailers, with several massive shipping depots located throughout the country. Bizos says Amazon would save huge shipping costs by employing the drones.

Others argue that the use of drones would throw thousands of working persons out of jobs, eventually.  Further complicating the endeavor, FAA regulations are a long ways off to allowing the use of delivery drones.
