It’s the way Gracie always finds things.

I’m going to become a billionaire after inventing GoogleMyStuff.com.

I always thought that wallets, glasses, and key rings should have little transistors stuck to them and every house should have a board with buttons connected to each transistor. So if you can’t find your keys you just push the right button and the keys let off a nice loud beep.

CoolGuy2000 says: kids arent THAT stupid …. right, but some adults are. last year, during a discusssion with one of my trainee guards, I had solicited his OPINION on something, I saw his fingers busy on his ever available laptop, walked around behind him and sure enough there was the topic, on Wikipedia!!

Google is good, but not good enough to find Tia Carmen’s purse … yet. Just wait until every item sold in the world has a readable chip.

There is a “but” on that one ejcapulet. It will mean the potential to find you when you really want to be undisturbed for awhile.

Perhaps Gracie meant searching with the Google satellite.

I guess that would work carmy, given that Carmen’s purse would definitely be distinctive.

That will work for hearing people to hear the sound after they push the button for things to find somewhere else. Will the deaf people be able to hear that sound? Naaah! It won’t work anyway. :-]

Wildmustang, that would be a simple (relatively) matter of rigging the lights in the room where the item is located to flash. If off, they blink on. If on, they blink off. Then add an LED array to the item itself that can flash off and on, and you have a system the deaf can use.
