USB Post-It Notes

It sounds far fetched but it's just been discovered that some sticky notes could contain around 32GB of data storage. It seems loosing your most important files could be a thing of the past with this new office must-have. The concept has been put forward by the company "dataSTICKIES" - they say that each strip will be able to store up to 32GB of data. It works by attaching the strip to the ODTS (Optical Dater Transfer Surface) around the computer screen where it is then read by the computer. They're made far more resilient with an injection of the super material, graphene to form a one atom thick protective layer. What's even better is you can write on the notes to distinguish between them!

Why do we get used to smells?

The city people out there, might wonder why the heck farmers get used to that "countryside" smell. Although our nervous system has evolved to become progressively less sensitive to a stimulus (in this case a smell). This enables us to concentrate more on the new sights/smells that might pose more of a "danger" to us. We also have what's called an olfactory memory that discards smells that we've experienced recently - so you don't notice the smell of your house when you come back from work, but it smells different when you come back from your holiday!
