The coolest gadgets breaking ground right now are keeping you connected and they know where you are. This enables quite a few things that were previously not relevant or were simply impossible to bring forward. While fearing the loss of privacy, there is a lot of good that can come out of this.
What is there around you? As it is knows where you are, searching what is around you become infinitely easier and faster, as 99.9999% of the available data can be discarded as irrelevant. Only what is around you, right now, is relevant.
Not only can you find the restaurants nearby, book a table or see the menu, you can also see which ones are the highest rated right now, in real time. The menu can be updated when they ran out of the crab, that night. Not only can you see which of your friends lives nearby and contact them (all) with the touch of a button, but you know who is there, right now. Regardless of where they work or live.
Which of your friends are in the cafe, and which are in the gym? Is the gym crowded? Is there a traffic jam? Is the tube late (and how late)? What was that loud noise, where was that police car gunning with the sirens wailing and has anyone told the council about this hole in the pavement? Who won the pub quiz and how much cheaper is a pint of lager and packet of crisps in the other pubs in the area? What is the local theatre showing now, is the viewing full and how was the film rated?
Privacy is lost, but so much is gained. Is it worth it?
right now = the entire lowdown neatly compiled, from data available in realtime.
was = still past tense, but only some seconds past. Treat almost like is.
is = truly present tense, within some seconds from now.
