    @YuneShik I agree. We wont find a cure for cancer and other things if we don't continue to advance in other things. Like this robot bug. Maybe we made a new technology for it that we realize can be used to cure a specific illness. So yeah i agree we can always be continuing other things to improve on more important things.

    @rgbgdrunkenmaster noob it could be used in military for spying the rooms to check if there is someone in or not, or to see where are the hostages held. not eavesdrop

    @SheepJumpFish dude, its youtube, you cant judge everyone on your own standards cos theres alot of idiots in the general masses. also sarcasm doesnt translate too well without tonality (for me anyway)

    @thethingthatwants I agree, but it should also be considered that things like this are being researched to use in actually spying applications. Similar to how those drones are used to hover around buildings in desertland

    @thethingthatwants it is also probably being funded by the DoD... for this and more sinister purposes.

    What a coincidence, I was sitting on my porch the other evening inundated with bugs and I thought to myself "You know I need more of these things flying around my head, I wonder if it's possible to build some?". In other news scientists created the first child tantrum robot. It could possibly be used for spying at supermarkets.

    @rgbgdrunkenmaster yes this was also my first thought. This robos are all shit in comparison to the creation power of the nature

    @thethingthatwants That's true, but making something in the lab is one thing, finding an application for it is something different entirely. They are not attempting to get the public interrested, they are just stating possible applications for it although I think making this a spy gadget is LAME!

    @nwstraith cept they would need to add a recorder of some sort thus making it heavier and power for the recording device which should bring us down to 10 sec's of fly time if we want to record for more then a minute

    @thethingthatwants advancement comes first application comes later, TV was rideculed when it was first demonstrated. no one could see a practical use for it
