At first I was horrified at the concept, given News reports of people being stalked, and today, two people had wandered off a hundred foot cliff."At last! Technology triumphs! Something even worse than texting." BUT: At least it is getting people to walk around. What with reports of people being found dead while marathon online gaming, it's SOME kind of positive change. A few years ago, a couple with children moved in next door. They are somewhat old-fashioned-No gaming. But I realized with a shock, that I had not heard children playing outdoors in perhaps a decade or more, at least around here. It could have even started in the Dark Ages of Atari.

I saw a pizza shop owner on TV saying he spent $10 for one of the game's electronic "lures" (can't recall the actual name of the device), and his business jumped 75%. Eating all that pizza might offset any health benefits the players gain from walking.
