That's an interesting thought. We haven't invented the technology yet. Before photography we we couldn't photograph what we saw and that was just normal. Before writing, we couldn't record our thoughts. Before speech, we couldn't communicate them. We're missing taste too.
Actualy we do have primitive smell books. Do you remember scratch and sniff books from when you were small: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/?category_id=815250
And my nephew who is 16 months old has a touch book that has fluffy, rough, smooth.
I think they are learning how to transmit smells. They're learning what makes up smells and tastes and I remember amusement-value technology from decades ago.
I remember a Freekazoid episode on smell-o-vision http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smell-O-Vision
Sometimes I take things from a place to remember it (fragrant bark for example)
