The explosion onto the scene of Pokémon Go has prompted all the tech bloggers to hyperventilate about augmented reality. Naturally, it has serious implications.. the heaviest of which not even the most visionary “futurist” can predict. It will be to our senses what our senses are to our nervous system, only malleable to our every whim.
Exciting.
But for now, I’m more concerned about the immediate future. For those among us who haven’t heard about Pokémon Go, they will soon. For unfortunately it will be on the Front Page for the Wrong Reason. Mark my words but it’s only a matter of time before someone meets their untimely demise by either:
-stepping into high speed traffic
-walking out of an open window
-tripping off a train platform
-straying into the landing site of a falling Grand Piano
After all – Pokémon is short for Pocket Monster.
7.5 Million people have been turned into Cyber Zombies! According to my research, Cyber Zombies are possessed by external forces (as opposed to the Undead which are possessed by internal ones) and therefore can still be saved!
But in the meantime, stay vigilant and HELP anybody you can that is unwittingly heading into harms way!!
