Yes, but why? February 28, 2007

The BBC is reporting that among other things, the future will bring us fragrances over the Internet. I don’t doubt that this is possible, but like a lot of other technology, why would this be important? Do I really need to know what a pizza smells like when I order it online? Would watching the Wizard of OZ be better if I can smell the poppy field? Speculation about where the future of technology will take us is important to know, but just because something can be done (and so probably will be done) doesn’t mean that it should be done. Do we really need more access to odors than we have already?
