Merry Christmas Future Drone Pilots

The Federal Aviation Administration is teaming with three non-profit flying interest groups to promote drone safety. It produces a Christmas video with safety instructions for people who receive unmanned aircraft as gifts. 

FAA's partners are the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International and the Small UAV Coalition. They represent commercial drone operators. Also involved is the Academy of Model Aeronautics, which represents hobbyists. The groups said they plan to distribute safety pamphlets at industry events. They're working with aircraft manufacturers to include safe flying information in drone packages.

I would like to know how these are any different than remote controlled airplanes and helicopters we used to fly...
they may be an improved version, but really no different as far as a hobby.
We had a helicopter that was pretty awesome
