I don't know about you but as I am graced with age and a busy life it seems like I misplace more stuff. Or sometimes I just plain lose thing like everybody, problem to be solved.  I have though for years if you can put a tracker chip in an animal or person why can't you have one for your stuff?   Appears that we are getting close. This new gadget is called TrackR and it attached to whatever you like and then is synced with your smartphone. With a tap of a button it can tell you where the thing is you've lost.  It can network with other users to search a wider area. It can even reverse the search and help you find your phone.

The inventors are raising money now for production but I think once they get it off the ground many people will want one.  I may even have to get a smartphone.
