In the recent heatwave I have taken advantage of my local park,
wandering round the lakes, finding shade under the trees, but on
more than one occasion I was shocked to see people missing all of
the beauty around them, fixated on their smart phone. Were they not
interested in their companion's conversation? Were they lost
and consulting a map? No, all around me, humans turned hunters. Of
Pokemons. We are talking about Pokémon Go!
Whilst the latest craze has passed me by, it cannot be denied
that this app is all consuming for a mind-bending number of people.
Pokémon Go is fast rivalling Twitter in popularity and has
already been downloaded to more phones than Tinder. If your company
is office-based or perhaps a call centre or production line where
individuals would be missed, you may feel that you have nothing to
worry about but, what if you employ field sales staff, couriers or
home workers? Are your staff hunting whilst working, or worse
still, hunting whilst driving?
