The 21st century has arrived in power!

This is the 21st century I was always hoping for: Donuts delivered by drone.

DENVER (AP) -- Doughnuts were delivered Wednesday by drone to Denver's mayor and the city's police and fire departments in an event that provided a glimpse into what companies hope will be a quick, inexpensive way to get merchandise to customers.

Denver's LaMar's Donuts hired Austin, Texas-based company Drone Dispatch to deliver four boxes of doughnuts using piloted drones flown from parking lots within a block of the delivery targets.

FAA regulations require commercial drone pilots always to have eyesight of the drone. For now.
