The document discusses how emerging technologies like geotagging, augmented reality, and games can enable better person-to-person connections, sharing of information, and collaborative exploration. These technologies make it easier to access relevant people, content, and solutions based on personal location. When fully realized, they may lead to more effective person-to-person communication by combining better connections, information, and exploration. However, issues around privacy, relevance and engagement need to be addressed for these technologies to reach their full potential.
