CNN Tech Article- Smell-O-Vision

A company in Japan is developing an attachment for phones. One that can spray a scent in the air whilst you are using the phone. The devices are about the size of a thumb drive and there are many different scents in development. But, each different one can only spray one scent, so you have to go and buy a couple to have a full range of smells. It may be used to make games more realistic with smells of the in-game things or it may be just a pointless little device that you hardly ever use. Nevertheless the company plans to release it in the fall.

CNN Tech Article

I found this cool tech article on CNN. In the article multiple writers from the tech division of CNN comment on things that they want to happen in the tech world. they suggest a new social networking site, affordable 3-D printers, and for all the big name tech companies to stop suing each other. the article is an interesting read and there are many ideas that I completely agree with.
