The Discovery Channel has a story about a new purse – the Ladybag – developed by researchers at Vancouver's Simon Fraser University that uses RFID technology to alert the owner if they leave the house without their wallet or keys. "We came up with the bag because we thought that all of us would use it," said Ginny Mesina, one of six women who worked on the Ladybag's creation. What about morphing the technology for a men's wallet? It would be amazing if the same technology could be used to locate missing wallets and/or keys – solving an age-old problem that has put tremendous stress on relationships around the world. Can you imagine no longer having to say "Have you seen my wallet?" or "Where are my keys". Now that would be very cool!
