City Scent Lab
Connections between people are becoming closer as the information age advances. As Internet technology is updated and improved, a new social issue has surfaced. The Internet has largely taken over people's lives and altered the way they live in the context of a digital society. As a result, they are gradually becoming less aware of their surroundings and the events that are happening around them.
