There’s a new technology coming to mobile phones — the GPS. Once $100,000 per unit, it’s now the size of a quarter and costs about 100 bucks a pop… the next generation of mobile phones in the U.S. will incorporate them by law.
\nWhat this means — the current GPS system can figure out where you are to within a 3 to 6 meter range, and scientists are working on a way to create text messages attached to the space you are currently occupying<\/a> — these messages would then pop up for any other similarly equipped phone\/PDA that passes through the same space (presumably if you scan for it, or if it passes your ‘approved users’ screen).
\nThink about this — every point on the planet has it’s own personal pop-up web page. Read reviews of restaurants from previous customers who stood in the same line that you did. It is the internet envisioned in David Brin’s Earth<\/i> (one of the more realistic-but-optimistic near-future fictions I’ve ever read).

\nMan, the hide-and-seek game you could play with something like this. Can you imagine?
\nThe high-tech treasure hunts.
