Read this Advt with your Nose ?
Does this read like a fantasy ?
Of course , but today , it came a step closer to reality
The front page of today’s Sunday Times carried following advt which indeed smelled of mangoes !
( Not quite AI but may be printing ink got added with some fragrance of mangoes )
This reminded me of my 7 year old following blog :
Ø 2024 ! – V 2.0 of Orwellian 1984 ? …………….. 07 July 2017
Extract :
“ SMELL – TASTE “ WAVES :
With arrival of Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality, day is not far when , sitting in your sofa , you can smell / taste that pizza , from across the World
It is 2024 and you could “ smell “ that picture in news-paper
But if you stick around till 2026 ( being 91 this month , I may not ), on your favourite TV Channel , you will be able to smell all kinds of aromas in advts for
“ masala / shampoo / tea / perfumes etc “
In 2017 , I had not heard of Elon Musk’s Neuralink. But , in this blog, I did envisage following :
“ BRAIN WAVES “ ( EEG ) :
Scientists are attaching a few sensors to your head, capturing your Brain Waves , and accurately interpreting these as “ Specific Thoughts / Sentiments “ !
It is only a matter of time before the bulky wired headset gets replaced by a mobile or a wrist band , capable of capturing your “ BRAIN WAVES “ and ( without your explicit permission ) , transmitting any of your thoughts which it considers “ EVIL “ to a CENTRAL SERVER of the ESTABLISHMENT !
And it will do this SURVEILLANCE , 24*7 ! – even when you are asleep !
Those who managed to escape the “ 1984 “ of George Orwell , were lucky
Those who will be around when 2024 arrives , may not be so lucky !
