According to a new survey, 53 % of people age 16 to 22 would give up which one of their five senses rather than lose access to technology?

Answer: Their sense of smell. According to the Truth About Youth study, "Given a list of things (including cosmetics, their car, their passport, their phone and their sense of smell) and told they could only save two, 53% of those aged 16-22 and 48% of those aged 23-30 would give up their own sense of smell if it meant they could keep an item of technology." Perhaps they assume someday technology will smell things for them.
