Nowaday, attaching information to real worlds stuff and gear is a trend. Projects like Aula or HP Cooltown (everything has a web page!) are a step toward this direction. Applications like tourist navigation, collaborative work or games.

A mobile phone is a powerful AWARENESS TOOL that can tell you the PRESENCE of somebody. Yesterday, I was wondering whether my friend Elise (who was in Italy for holidays) was back in France or not. I sent her a SMS. My Nokia Phone receives reports to tell me whether the SMS is delivered or just pending.
