IMAGINE being able to record a smell and play it back later, just as you can with sounds or images.

Thankfully every time someone has tried this in the past it has bombed out. Hopefullly it will do so again.

The smell of burning Feds might be okay but essentially they are using perfumes to simulate natural scents. As someone allergic to perfumes this would be a nightmare if it became commonplace. Imagine if restaurants wanted a freshbaked bread smell and simulated it with a perfume.

hmmm personally I feel they should wait, and merge something like this into that device that uses the tongue as an access point to the brain

Then what do you do if you get a BSOD?

leave that to the current testers in the miltary. I would assume how it would work would be that if everything is working fine, the interface keeps working. but any glitches, the device deactivates, severing the connection causing at most a moment of disorientation

LOL, Way back in the late 80's early 90's when I served, Well I worked with Marine Corp Intelligence, Doing photo Interpretation kind of stuff. Evn then, Our Pc's where 386's. My Home PC was more powerfull then what the Military offered us to work with. I haven't laughed about that in a few years, But your post reminded me of that. Thanks for the chuckle man.
