I don’t know about you guys but I’m definitely looking forward to having my Amazon orders delivered to my doorstep via drone. Jeff Bezos is just as excited about bringing about these deliveries as I am about receiving them, but don’t expect it to happen anytime soon. The Amazon CEO says that it will likely be years before we start seeing drones delivering things to our homes, but it’s going to happen eventually, and when it does, Bezos thinks there will be as many drones in the sky as mail trucks on the ground.

How do you suppose Jeff Bezos, a man worth roughly $48bn (£30.8bn), spends his weekends? Hobnobbing with other billionaires at his West Hollywood mansion or his multi-apartment home overlooking New York’s Central Park? Not last weekend. He was in the small US coastal city of Seattle that he and his family have called home for the past two decades. And he went to the movies. “I saw Mission Impossible 5 with my kids. It’s terrific, it’s extremely good,” laughs the 51-year-old. As well as watching the latest iteration of the Tom Cruise franchise, he and the rest of the Bezos clan – made up of wife MacKenzie and their four children – also hung out at the city’s KeyArena, usually home to the Seattle Redhawks basketball team. The Bezos’s were there, with 17,000 others, to watch the Dota2 International championship, at which video gamers battled it out for an $18m prize. The whole thing was streamed to hundreds of thousands of Dota2 fans on the internet, via Twitch.TV.
