Reply to comment by xopranaut in Zipline’s new drones release tethered mini-drones for precision package deliveries - These drone deliveries drop down from up to 300 feet high in a tethered ‘droid’ with its own propellers to target small landing zones like a table. by speckz

5 years from now:

You’re just sitting down for dinner, your phone buzzs and you get a notification your package order delivery is about to occur. All of a sudden, a large packaged box crashes through the skylight in the ceiling and lands squarely in the big bowl of mashed potatoes, sending mashed potatoes everywhere.

Your phone buzzs again and you get a notification: “Your package has been delivered”.

Reminds me of Mézga Család, a 50 year old Hungarian cartoon series about a family who have a mysterious radio connection with their distant descendant in the 30th century. The descendant would send them futuristic gadgets by "light mail" which made the packages suddenly materialize on the windowsill, always shattering the windows.
