GPS shopping

 Image removed. Link here.

Here's a cartoon by Aaron Bacall that's a bit predictive in the sense that this is precisely the sort of thing GPS vendors and advertisers have in mind for the practical application of their product. There are already applications on vehicle navigation systems and smart phones that do this sort of thing. In truth this toon seems almost quaint in the sense that the general public may already assume this is exactly what GPS technology was originally designed to do. GPS technology is likely to get even more customized than this if it isn't already (see Minority Report)
