What the..
Okay - so technology has been used to accomplish some amazing things.
Science put a man on the moon and it treats illnesses that just a few years ago would've been hopeless.
We've learned to break the sound barrier and communicate with one another across the not-so-vast distance that has become cyberspace.
But some technological advances just make me wonder what the heck the inventor was thinking.
I can't believe it, but someone has actually managed to take the concept of wearable computing and used it to create shirts that enable their wearers to send "hugs" to one another remotely. With this shirt on, you would actually feel it if someone send you a "hug".
The shirt itself is Bluetooth enabled. The orange ovals on the shirt are actuators where you would feel the warmth, pressure and heartbeat of the person who sent you this "hug."
This idea seems both cute and scary at the same time. Now that we've reach this point, you know it's only a matter of time before someone incorporates this idea into underwear instead of shirts.
And that will only take the concept of cyber-sex to a whole new level.
