53 Percent of Young People Would Give Up Their Sense of Smell Rather Than Give Up Technology
That's according to a McCann survey of 7,000 16-to-30-year-olds out today. It sparked the following discussion in the Daily Intel chat room:
Intel Chris: This study is amazing.
Intel Dan: I think I would also give up my sense of smell
Intel Nitasha: I would for sure
Intel Dan: I mean, "give up technology"?
Intel Dan: So no computer, no Internet?
Intel Nitasha: CUT OFF MY NOSE RIGHT NOW
Intel Dan: That would be way more disruptive than not being able to smell
Intel Chris: I think you can't really taste things if you can't smell
Intel Dan: Also half the time the things you smell actually smell bad
Intel Chris: That's just in New York, Dan.
