Still Waters Posted October 8, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 8, 2012 If you've ever felt a 'like' on Facebook wasn't quite real enough, a US designer has unveiled a jacket that hugs the wearer every time they receive one. Designed by MIT student Melissa Chow, the 'Like-A-Hug' is a wearable social media vest that allows for hugs to be given via Facebook, bringing us closer despite physical distance. The vest inflates when friends 'Like' a photo, video, or status update on the wearer's wall. http://www.dailymail...-likes-you.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted October 8, 2012 #9 Share Posted October 8, 2012 strap on your chihuahua's, it's happening, folks. the age of transhumanism is upon us. we're being presented with an artificial reality. this is just training for the new soulless human.. [edit] i may as well have quoted ALL the previous responses, eh? This was my first reaction as well. We separate ourselves from other people to spend time in the cyber world and then the deficit of human contact drives us to seek artificial human contact? WTH?!?
