Hasta La Gadget!

There have been jokes about creating smell and taste for television for many decades. Well, now that dream is coming true — well, sort of. It isn’t the smell part, and it isn’t the television. Researchers at the University of Singapore have discovered that they can replace four of the five basic tastes by delivering a small dose of electricity to the tongue. So they can match flavors to what you see on your computer screen — and no, you don’t have to lick your computer screen to get the job done either.
