• We should now be fully online following an overnight outage. Apologies for any inconvenience, we do not expect there to be any further issues.

A modest proposal.

We have a monitor that pleases our eyes, whether it be projection, CRT or LCD (i suppose widescreen monitors also), and VR headsets. We have speakers for sound ( I personally would like to see the bose wave computer speakers). We even have force feedback mice and controllers for feel. I want to smell or taste my computer. Now, I am not talking about the smell when your braided cable comes in contact with the wrong capacitor and black smoke pours out. And the taste I dont want to be cold metal or molded plastic. All smells and tastes are composed of really is what electrical impulses get sent to our brain, right? So we need an interface on the back of our heads to plug into and send these impulses directly to the brain. I know, it sounds off....but think about it. You would only need to buy the computer and the interface! No more mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers, video card, sound card......It would significantly drive the cost down and be much more secure. Heck, there's no better security than biometrics. We could even implement tracking of criminals and online predators. That's right, the Slot for Human Interface and Tracking. I am going to work on this SH!T now.

In the year 1998, Skynet will take over the world. So begins the human-robot war.
