If things
progress as many expect, property
in Noida may have an additional feature which buyers may need to consider
before purchasing a home. Over the past few years, drones have been widely
discussed in the news and are touted as a viable means to facilitate the
transfer of products from warehouses into homes. Ever since drones began to be
used by the United States to carry out military strikes on those the US
government considered to be threats, drones have captured the imagination of
many across the world. The private sector has once again shown its dynamism by
adopting a technology which was intended for military use to facilitate commerce.
To those old enough to remember, the intent behind the creation of the internet
was to create a resilient system capable of communication across vast distances
in the event of a first nuclear strike which would have adversely affected
military’s communication systems. Originally designed for military use, the
Internet has rapidly grown to be the most potent force driving trade, commerce,
communications, and entertainment over the past twenty years. Drones which were
first seen on the battlefield may now be used in sync with the internet to
remove the human element completely from a commercial organization's supply chain.
New projects in Noida may need a new facet to
enable delivery to the doorstep of many homes by aerial drones. This is not a
laughable proposition, not any more than would have been thought of thirty
years ago regarding things done routinely today using the internet. Drones are
already being used in buildings to carry out tasks which were henceforth done
by human beings. Many hotels today successfully use robots for room service, in
short, the potential to replace the
logistics in an organization's supply
chain by robots is gaining steam and many of the most successful companies are
betting big on the success of drones and robots in an organization's supply chain. Builders in Noida may consider
creating developments already geared to embrace this new paradigm by creating
developments which facilitate easy delivery by drones to people’s homes. The
vast majority of countries where the use of drones for commercial applications
is being taken seriously are developed countries; hence they already have a
great deal of physical infrastructure in place to enable a successful
logistical transformation enabling drones to deliver goods to people’s homes. Luxury
apartments in Noida, though inside developments which have first world
infrastructure, are surrounded by third world infrastructure on the outside
which hinders the movement of drones. Additional measures must be taken to
improve infrastructure to enable drones and robots to carry out menial tasks
that are today done by people. Residential
projects in Noida should be built keeping in mind that in ten to fifteen years’
doorstep delivery by drones may become commonplace and rather than expecting only
the companies which use drones to adapt, real estate developers in Noida too
should do the best to make homes today ready for the tremendous changes ahead.
Such changes need not only be made to only high-end
projects, rather even affordable
housing in Noida should be ready to embrace a future where drones are
regularly employed to deliver goods from warehouses or kitchens into people’s
homes.
The changes
mentioned above are more than likely to happen; greater technological
innovation will drive commerce in the future with a speed which will make the
changes over the past thirty years seem
tame. Many people are losing their jobs due to the increasing sophistication of
AI which is able to carry out tasks which were earlier considered undoable by machines if drones and robots are used
regularly to deliver goods to people homes than it is likely that many more
jobs shall be lost. This segment of the population which does logistical roles
most likely does not suspect what may lay in store for them, yet they could in
the future be better employed in a role which provides a greater benefit to
society than simply delivering goods to people’s homes. The destruction of one
industry usually leads to the emergence of several new ones.
