Just today I was out in the woods walking, and thinking how sweet it would be to have a cellphone that could track my location with gps, a camera that flagged all the pictures I took with longitude and latitude values, and a collar on my dog to see how far away from me she is (so as to keep her from getting into a porcupine). And all this is coming.
Nat Torkington, organizer of the upcoming Where 2.0 conference, said it this way: “Everything is somewhere. Whether you’re talking about assets, people, phone calls, pets, earthquakes, fire sales, bank robberies, or famous gravestones, they all have a location attached. And everything we touch in our lives, from groceries to digital photos, could have a location. From these locations we could learn a lot more about ourselves and build new economies.”
A nice call to arms cum where do we stand post: what needs to come of age before the geoweb can really manifest itself.
