The Smartfinder: Googling Your Car Keys Comes a Step Closer

You stick the tags to whatever you usually lose and when you do lose it, press the button on the remote.... Low tech to be sure, and those tags a a trifle large at 7x5x3mm, but think of the fun to be had by hiding these in your friends' bags and pockets and firing them off in the middle of a wedding, say.

Review-1923-6158Df4E428B2215Cb44Eedb167A9372Imagine a world where every object is connected and searchable, like Bruce Sterling's Internet of Things. A day when you can Google your keys and your friends. Well, unfortunately for scatterbrains everywhere, that day is not yet here, but there is something that can help you.

The SmartFinder kit comprises four color coded radio tags and a remote control with four buttons. You stick the tags to whatever you usually lose and when you do lose it, press the button on the remote. The tags screech out an 85 decibel alarm to help find them.

Low tech to be sure, and those tags a a trifle large at 7x5x3mm, but think of the fun to be had by hiding these in your friends' bags and pockets and firing them off in the middle of a wedding, say. The price for this pranksters' dream? £25 ($50).
