Change In the Meaning of Science Herbert W. Gernand For many students who have an interest in science orengineering the words "science" or "exact science" have avery special meaning. They create a vision of an imperish-able structure of facts and knowledge. They suggest man-kind's accumulated wisdom and truth about the regular andrepetitive, machine-like operations of nature. They alsoprovide assurance that the universe is now understood andthat only additional data remains to be added to our presentknowledge. Moreover, they promote the confidence that theanswers to all, or at least most, human questions can befound in science, and that in science lies the hope forthe future. In fact this concept

Houstonfor potential patent.The network controlled data acquisition drone (drone) is a device that can be remotely controlledfrom almost any other device with an HTML browser. This device will also have the ability totake measurements from an array of sensors that will be displayed on the HTML interface. Mostof the similar devices on the market are controlled via radio frequency and satellites. This limitsthe ability to control these similar devices to a single control station and also the distance atwhich the control station can be from the device. Because the drone will be controlled overstandard networking protocols and operates with an HTML interface, this makes the devicecontrollable from thousands of different products such as computers and
