You are sitting in a YAHOO Chat Room… connected to the “Friends” Chat room by “Romance” and inside “ THE TIKI’S LOUNGE”. You are busy gossiping with one of your overseas friend whom you have met after a long time on the NET. Suddenly you hear a sound KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! and a message appear on the screen:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |

| cool_friend@yahoo.co.uk wants to come into your room |

| PHYSICALLY? |

| ___________ ___________ |

| | Allow | | Deny | |

| ---------------- --------------- |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You click on “Allow” and your friend physically comes into your room through the “HP Human Transporter”.

You might be thinking “ Gosh! What’s this all about!!!!”. Well, this might seem strange , ridiculous and nonsense in the current Century. But that day might not be far off when you meet your Friend , shake hands with him and have coffee with him and all this happening physically and not in the Computer Screen.

There was a day when thinking when thinking of having communication with one sitting in India and the other sitting in the US was imaginary. That became possible. Computers arrived and then came E-Mails …… Then came chat through text, gradually came Chat through Voice , and Ultimately people would send Images and Videos through an Instant Messenger, even Big Files in GB’s . Right now, I called sending Images and Videos and Big Files “ULTIMATE” , but I was very wrong.The ULTIMATE is yet to come. Your Mm might cook something wonderful with a delicious smell in her home and you might be smelling it right inyour Hostel Room or in your office. Yes, that’s what motivates me to write on this topic “ The Future Chatroom” . This technique has recently been invented y some scientists in UK.

I read it first in one of our National Daily Newspaper’s . The system through which smell is transferred consists of two stages. At the first Stage, where the smell from the sender’s end is digitally recognized by some sensors and modified to Binary Data. And on the reciever’s end it is decoded and the similar smell is generated with the help of some pre-stored odors and mixing them is such a ratio and proportion as to form the smell formed by the sender. Another application of this is the Smell Recorder. If you think that its only Music that you can Playback you are very wrong. If Engineers at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan are to be believed, you can also record a smell and play it back later. Thanks to the device they have made to serve the purpose. All you have to do is simply point the device at the source of the smell. Researchers say that the device can be used for online shopping to help shoppers sniff fragrances and foods before they place an order for them.

What’s more? Someday we can find the icon “Send Smell” beside the “Send File “ button. Just wait for that and someday you might find my imagination of sending Human’s physically through my “ HP Human Transporter” true. Then you would find the button” Send Me” beside the set of icons on top of your Instant Messenger and everyone would keep sending one to another and the Internet Traffic would be busy once again but now not due to “ Voice Calls” and “Data Calls” but due to “ Smell Calls” and “ Human transport Calls”.
