Someone was showing me how this game worked a few weeks ago. I was stunned. Like this article I suddenly saw the future. I told the group I was with that this game incorporated the virtual world with the real world and changes EVERYTHING.

Pokemon Go is to this concept what Pong was to the latest first person xBox games. Gaming just took the next step.

Imagine the number of news reports that will start to flood
the world's news rooms of people falling down open sewer
tubes where the lids are gone. The world is spirling out of control.
