![[VIDEO] Invention of the Internet in 1934? | Science News | Scoop.it](https://img.scoop.it/v2m4yfWdLdViv6CTGuBUBTl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVvK0kTmF0xjctABnaLJIm9)
In a 1934 book titled, The Treaties on Documentation, Belgian entrepreneur Paul Otlet conceived of a system for requesting and retrieving massive amounts of information. Calling it a “radiated library,” Otlet’s device would allow users to retrieve all the world’s information—books, magazines, film, music—with a single phone call. Did he invent the Internet? Here, Alex Wright, director of user experience at The New York Times and discoverer of Otlet’s lost opus, explains at the 2012 World Science Festival program, Internet Everywhere, just how close Otlet had come to creating the world’s first information-networking system.

Two bold young neuroscientists have initiated a revolution in the scientific study of sexual attraction. Before Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam, the only researcher to systematically investigate sexual desires was Alfred Kinsey, who surveyed 18,000 middle-class Caucasians in the 1950s. But Ogas and Gaddam have studied the secret sexual behavior of more than a hundred million men and women around the world. Their method? They observed what people do within the anonymity of the Internet.

The Internet has revolutionized the way we connect and the way we think, speeding up the rate of virtually everything. At times, having so many facts at your fingertips can feel less like an upside and more like a deluge. (There's a reason why Gleick's book is subtitled "a flood.") But fundamental cultural and technological shifts in our relationship to information are hardly unprecedented. They're "part of the evolution of the species," he says.

Meet Olly, the web-connected, smelly robot. He, and it is a “he,” takes your @mentions, status updates and more and turns them into the smell of your choice. Created by a London-based designer, Olly is still a Kickstarter project with a $35,00 goal. Articles about robotics: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=robotics
