How soon will we see crazy apps built on top of something like macrosense? The more wile and guile types will welcome this to sweeten their malevolence.
- "What if you could look at your cell phone and see a heat map of where everybody in the city was at that very moment?"
- "Over time, it learns about where you like to go (fancy restaurants or punk rock clubs) and shows you other people like you, and where they are—right now."
- "Imagine a GPS that didn’t just tell you where you are or where your programmed destination is, but a GPS in your phone that actually predicts what you want to do and where you want to go."
Yeah, it’ll be wonderful when you’re driving along and the GPS announces the strip club is up on the right when your wife is riding along. Honey, I have no idea why the GPS thinks I want to go there. Stupid GPS.
