Spimes 3 – Keys you can google

In the first spime post, I mentioned that my friend keeps losing her keys and wants to call her keys. Well, lo and behold, now you can!

Ever since human beings have had possessions, we’ve been losing them – leaving our flint axes under rocks, misplacing our spears in woolly mammoths. As we’ve evolved so have our methods of finding these lost items. Now, with the Find it All Key Finder our keys, wallets and phones can actually find themselves!

Unlike other systems that are either a receiver or a transmitter – the Find it All Key Finder tags are both, so if you’ve got one, it will find the others for you. Clever huh?

The set consists of 2 sturdy key chain tags and 1 very robust flat tag, so you can attach one key chain to your keys, the other to your phone and pop the flat tag in your wallet or purse

This is so SkyMall, Ubicomp has happened finally happened.

Love the idea and glad its finally happening!
Though it bases itself on the premise of the problem itself – another object to find an object.
You can still lose your wallet. Would that render this system useless?

I wish it were more intuitive, like – “Keys! Where are you??” and the key’s shout back – “Here, dumbass!”

Thanks for posting! :)
