The Internet; the most powerful tool ever made available to any species. Information and its control are the most valuable asset and activity on this earth.
Entertainment, the services industry, advertising, marketing, creation and manipulation of information, education, the curriculum, media reporting and back out, global scale governance and theft, the UN ;all multimillion (whatever your currency) businesses.
Smell o vision seems trivial in contract to the above and that amazing video and yet it plays such a vital role in the evolutionary story of the Internet and Human kind. Many people (those in Evolutionary psychology - the study of the human brain and behaviour among others) actually believe, in the future, through evolution, Humans will choose their sexual mate based on their smell. Subtle chemical signals, pheromones, and the ability to detect vital genetic information for mating can be detected through smell. Humans actually practice this today. Tribes have been known to put special significance on ensuring sexual mates have different smells to optimise the immune system, limit health deficiancies and more (we wont go into to much detail).
