ah pharmaceuticals... that's ideal. The challenge is to find other light, valuable things.

<div dir="ltr">What could it be used for? How much weight can a drone carry? Let's stick to current technologies, as the development of such key components as batteries, motors, and materials is unlikely to be affected much by the development of this network (unlike the internet, where demand quickly caused a lot of innovation in networking equipment).</div>
