*Off Topic*

I brought up smell recording because I have always thought that it was the next step in recording. Three hundred years ago, nothing could be recorded. Then came photography and then phonography. Those to made an amazing progress in the meantime. While we have five senses, only these two can be recorded in different medium such as magnetic tape (analog or digital). Orfactory or tactile as well as gustasomething (taste) is beyond current technology's reach.

Needless to say, tactile sensation recording device will be a billion dollar business finally enabling internet-interc.... hmm interaction between people. But what I wish to see is a technology that would record smell and reproduce it. Smell triggers so many memories. Of places I have been, I want to have the smell of it as well as its sights and sounds.

It is comforting to know that SanDisk will be there (and the stock will go up) to record it when the technology finally arrives.
