AppleInsider reported upon an interesting patent this week involving the iPhone. The first paragraph of there article reads:

Apple Inc.’s iPhone can already playback video, browse the Internet, and place phone calls, but a new filing by the handset maker suggests it may one day take your lunch order and serve as a tour guide at the local zoo.

Now, how could Apple pull off a stunt like this? The patent implies that they would use a short range wifi network that can detect when an Apple product, such as an iPhone, connects to it. By doing this, it would be able to offer special content to that device.

In my opinion, if this patent is ever put into effect it would be the start of a whole new digital age. Paper menus and tour guides would be a thing of the past. With this, you would simply walk into a new restaurant or town and then be instantly greeted with a digital menu or tour guide on your device. That would be purely awesome. Digital media would be put at the forefront of our lives and would help us with everything that we do. It would completely ease many of the tasks that we do in our everyday lives and take a lot of strain off of visiting new places. I really hope Apple puts this patent into effect, because I can’t wait for something like this.
