Since olfaction, or the sense of smell, is merely one more memory
channel laid down in parallel on the associative mindgrid of both
humans and robots, we track artificial nose Web sites for cyborgs

This is an interesting flow chart. However, what is it gotto do with
the possible concept of  a cyborg. Well, deaming  on the future aint
that bad though, but definitely not with this flow chart ;?).

PS. by the way where is 'the thinking' on the flow chart; it is
suppose to be the brain of a cyborg, aint it? ;?) This flow
chart sounds more like the future blue print of an advanced
ATM teller.

A Cyborg!!?? read Isaac Asimov a lot? Well

I' Robot and 'Robots and Empire' are not really bad..A complete
philosophy on Cyborgology ( a new word, I just invented..Like
someone invented the word Cyborg, heh) I know , there is this
Cybernetics but what the heck.

Bora,
