Ultimately the drone thing will be limited in use. The FAA is still working on regs for these things and when they're done there's not going to be much latitude.
I predict there will be a few NMAC's with commercial flights and the FAA will clamp down even more. Also a single incident that even looks like a terrorist attack will mean game over.
Drone operators will get some expensive lessons about weather as I think weather is going to eat quite a few as operations expand.
Right now all the excitement reminds me of the pre-sell frenzy that happens with fad livestock such as Emus and Alpacas. Some businesses will be sold on it and then find out that aviation is an expensive game to play.
Probably anything that's electric powered (and thus limited in range and capability) will be pretty easy to operate (as far as regs are concerned). Anything with a combustion engine is going to be a different story.
Don't get me wrong; they do have a lot of practical applications. However, what's in the media now reminds me of 50's magazine articles about flying cars and house cleaning robots.
