Second, get over your freak-out moment. This is happening, thanks to the Internet of Things and a location finder in every pocket. Shocked? Think ahead, people.

And speaking of that, consider a moment the changes this could mean to the marketing world. Here are a few:

* A swam of Red Bull drones descend on a concert
* A rebirth of aerial advertising, but just above eye level
