Want to find a coffee store near you? Well, if it’s related to search, you can be sure that Google wants a piece of the pie, and now Google has introduced local search for the iPhone and Android phones. When you’re at Google’s page on your mobile browser, just hit the “near me now” link to bring up search results that are nearby you. It looks like with this, we shouldn’t have trouble looking for the closest ATM or coffee joint anymore. Will we lose our sense of adventure over time, especially since we’re getting more and more pampered by electronic devices?
