Tile - Cutting Your 'Losses'

     It is said that we live in an era of smart phones and dumb people. Is it true? The better and more sophisticated our mobile phones get, the more we tend to depend on them. Mobile phones have made the ability to remember phone numbers extinct. Who would go through the ordeal of remembering 10 digits per person when they are just a few ‘touches’ away? The routine of calling people to wish them on their birthdays has also been replaced by an SMS or a WhatsApp text. But getting to a serious alteration to the human ‘smartness’ because of a smartphone, we see a considerable reduction in memory and retention capacity of people who use smartphones extensively. Forgetfulness is the order of the day, and we often miss out on important events and things because of forgetting them.

     How often do we wish that everything we lose had a ringtone attached to it? How convenient will it be to find something just by means of that very smartphone that is responsible for its loss? Let me introduce you to Tile™. Tile will make sure that you never lose anything forever! Just stick Tile™ to everything you do not want to lose and let Tile™ take care of the rest. Confused? Intrigued? Let’s find out what Tile™ is!


     Tile™ is aided by the app called ‘Tile‘. Just install it on your smartphone and use it whenever you want to find anything you’ve lost. Now, this works best when maximum people have the Tile™ app on their smartphones. Let’s say you lose your bicycle. You were alert enough to attach the Tile™ to your beloved bicycle.

      Now how do you find your bicycle? Activate the Tile™ app on your phone. This will send out a signal that puts other Tile™ Apps in search for your missing bicycle. This means that if someone else using the Tile™ App comes within range of your lost bicycle, the Tile™ App will discretely and securely identify your bicycle and immediately notify you of its location. Not even the person whose Tile™ App helped you get your the location will know that their phone just found your bicycle. Your Tiles are always secure and are not viewable on anyone else’s Tile app unless you choose to share your Tiles with selected friends and family. Once enough people are using Tile™, you can watch your personal Tiles move on the Tile™ app map from anywhere.

     As you might have noticed, Tile™ is a device one of its kind. While others are restricted by the typical connectivity range of 100 feet which is given by Bluetooth, Tile’s range can go far beyond that by using the Bluetooth connection of neighbouring smartphones running the Tile app to cast a wider search net.


     As always, technology continues to delight us with its wide possibilities. You can preorder your Tile™ at http://thetileapp.com/ only for $19.95. With this new invention, you will never have to say goodbye to your precious paraphernalia now!
