If Tile has its way, the era of lost keys--and stolen bikes or laptops--is over. Along with an accompanying app, Tile, a small and discreet device that can be attached to whatever you want to track, keeps a virtual eye on all the important physical things in your life. The app works by using bluetooth to track Tiles, which uses a “getting warmer” display in the app to direct users to the missing object. For when things get left behind or stolen, Tile tapped the cloud to create a network of users whose apps can ping you the location of your stuff if they happen to be nearby.
