After doing some research on how this game works, I've concluded that it's one of the DUMBEST things to come out.....ever. Let's say your in beautiful Los Angeles trying to find one of these stupid things. So, instead of enjoying a beautiful beach sunset or getting a good photo of the observatory, you have your face stuck in your phone even more than you ever were?
So, it's bad enough that you stay indoors staring at your phone all day. Now, you go outdoors.....and stare at your phone some more? Sorry, I can't relate to these things anymore. I feel much older than I am (33).
I haven't gotten into it. But seeing the forest from the trees, it's a break through for Augmented Reality.
AR is something thats coming in a big way, I've heard it mentioned from being incorporated into tools such as GPS systems and now we are seeing it in gaming. Definitely something to keep an eye on.
The most interesting thing of this might be its impact on VR. Companies such as Sony, Microsoft and Facebook have invested heavily into Virtual Reality recently, AR might be the worst thing for them.
VR is a whole different experience. It transports you to a different world. Apples and oranges at this point. If you haven't tried an Oculus or Vive I highly recommend it. It's pretty amazing experience and this is just the beginning. Can't wait to see what it looks like 5 years from now.

You honestly can't say that doesn't have a good effect on them regardless of whatever they're playing on the phone.

I haven't downloaded the app. Which link is true? Which site is more credible? I hope it's yours. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Spent the entire day endlessly searching Balboa Park for Pokemon !!! I love Pokemon Go !!!
Dammit! I was actually thinking about heading down there and going to some museums on Saturday but ended up not going. Would've been awesome to see Bill walking around
Google Maps application for exact locations of Pokemon near you and how long until they disappear: Link
I set this up for myself yesterday, but I have not tried getting Pokemon with it yet. This app is an incredible implementation leveraging Google Maps and Pokemon Go information. Some may call this cheating, but you still have to go to the actual locations and successfully catch the Pokemon.
My son has been playing this and it's been all over my Facebook feed.
I was never really into Pokemon. It got popular after I was already a teenager.
But the way the game works is pretty neat. I'm actually tempted to download it, but I'm afraid that if I enjoy it it will end up being a huge time sink.
