In this prediction, the Horizon report predicts that nearly everything will be Geo tagged. This prediction is about 2 years out according to the prediction. But I am seeing this happening everywhere NOW. Cameras now routinely geo tag photos and show you on Google map where the photo was taken. Parents are tagging there children in case they are lost. But how far does this go. Stores could use geo tagging to track the movements of customers. They could use this information to force customers down isles with items that yield the highest profits. Should our location is tracked on a website so our friends can easily find us, along with the predators? I think that this concept has a lot of good. But it also contains a lot of bad. Are we as a society ready to combat the bad in order to obtain the good points of this technology?
