The Sydney Morning Herald reports Japanese entertainment giant Sony has patented an idea for transmitting data directly into the brain, with the goal of enabling a person to see movies and play video games in which they smell, taste and perhaps even feel things. The shape of things to come? Wouldn't televangelists love to get their hands on something like this? You could over-stimulate the temporal lobes to create faux-religious experiences and link their minds direct to a net-base credit card account.
Actually maybe Church of Fools could take up the gaming aspect and introduce some angels and demons into the crypt.
