Mobile technologies may tend to focus on life’s present and future, but Foursquare this week launched a feature that gives users new insight into the past. Specifically, the location-based social networking service on Thursday introduced the Foursquare Time Machine, a tool that allows users to retrace the steps of their past check-ins through a digital visualization. The new Samsung-sponsored Time Machine tool starts with a user’s first check-in, which is displayed as an illuminated colorful dot atop a black map.
