fast, cheap, and easy but what about spimes?

consider this, spimes are:
1. Small, cheap way of remotely id'ing objects over short distance (see RFID).
2. Mechanism to precisely locate something (see GPS)
3. Method of mining and finding stuff in large data (see Google)
4. Tool to virtually construct any type of object (see Rhino).
5. Ways to rapidly prototype virtual objects into real ones. (see FabLab)
6. "Crade-to-cradle" life spans for objects.

all six of these things converging at once!
maybe it impossible than for such things as expatriated caches to exist in the future? quick search for your lost or hidden items will reveal where you put those sneakers, thanks to the manufacturers who embedded some digital dna into the nano-fabric of these laces. rise of the "blobjects" perhaps leads to the high commodity aspirations seeking out one's own expatriated caches.
