AR is great. I'm just waiting until it becomes an in-home system so I can look like a fool in private.

I'm also sure I will bump into things, knock stuff over, bruise/break myself until I master it. And will blame nobody but myself

I once read a sci-fi book that took place in a not-so-distant future where everyone wore these AR contact lenses. It is a somewhat far fetched idea but I think it will be a reality in the next 15-20 years? Anyways, the author did a good job of illustrating the possibilities of AR like even for things like interior decorating where any room would have say a chair, counter, table etc. but then depending on the "overlay" you chose to view it would just add a "filter" over the objects. So they were still there, you could feel them, but looked different. It really captured my imagination.

I don't own a smart phone to even get it, and not about to pay monthly fees for my 3g on my iPad for it.

But its getting people out of the houses and roaming more so i don't see a issue with the game.

The best thing about this game is reading all the crazy stuff people are doing and getting into and seeing people on youtube being trapped in grave yards, buildings etc...

so you get the good and the bad, people getting into stupid situations which is a riot, and the bad of people dieing and being robbed going into places as set ups.

just have to be smart about it is all.

It really just comes down to this. Pretty simple.

Lots more to come with the game.

Good examples. And either of them could (and do) happen without someone playing Pokemon Go. This type of stuff happens every day.

People hit stuff all the time because they are looking at their phone for some reason or another ... it's called distracted driving

The idiots walking into traffic wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't an innocent party involved. Sure the automaton playing gets hurt, but the driver now has the hassle of insurance premiums, police reports, car repairs, etc.

HUGE problem. And I agree, plenty of this stuff was happening before Pokémon, people didnt just become idiots now. I work in insurance and the amount of convictions and accidents that happen due to people on their phones is ridiculous. Also, the "youths" aren't solely to blame either. Plenty of older people that should know better are equally as guilty. They just drive the more expensive vehicles to repair.

I knew this game would get better, just type in Pokemon GO dead body in google and will find a few articles of random people finding dead bodies......
