I’m sure I’m phrasing that keyword string wrong in the title, but that explains the techology and market I’m exploring here. It’s a natural outgrowth of our Monument City project. In a nutshell, that project uses historic monuments, objects embedded in space, but also durable across time (because of high cultural value and strength of materials) as markers to which other information is tied. The information connected to the physical location via the web becomes “embedded” in it if you have a GPS proximity service enabled on a mobile device. So you might be walking around in your semi-augmented reality universe and your device will blip you that you just bumped into an interesting island of information connected to the physical space you’re passing through.
In other words, put more simply: you can use the internet to embed poems in physical space, accessible – for now – through digital devices. And from there my thoughts spiral through infinity as I progress my mind’s vision of technology’s march unfolding across the next twenty years…

And if you’re into old writing of mine at all, this wandering piece has some really cool sci-fi scenarios involving GPS described amidst a lot of verbal flotsam and jetsam.
