"Scientists in Singapore have developed a jacket which can transmit the sense of touch over internet, Reuters reports. Strangely, they have so far restricted themselves to testing the technology on chickens, but hope to "use the same concept to transmit hugs over the internet". Hugs... ummmm .. yeah  _____________________

So they are testing chicken choking technology on chickens? I think something got lost in translation.

If you tap a chicken on the shoulder (do they have shoulders?) do they turn around?

again, that would have to be pants...not a jacket, but it is funny...this exact idea has been mentioned online in many venues, even yahoo chat rooms, how wonderful it would be to own a sensation suit that could be controlled by someone else....but...i see it now....crime on the internet.....Gang Touching!!!!!!!!! Run!!!!

So complicated!
Could we not simply stimulate the correct centers of the brain for pleasure and pain? While the complexity is reduced, so too would be the lag. Wouldn't it be inconvenient to feel the sensation of touch delayed, especially after you had logged out and perhaps over dinner? _____________________

I remember ten or so years ago, they spoke about cybersex already, with devices you attached on your body (ity looked goofy).
I think it lacked a platform to really happen, and SL could be it > Plus it'll be a whole new kind of products. After poseball with naughty animations, enter senseballs and their naughty stimulations. I totally see that in SL 5 years from now. _____________________

Marvellous. We have no doubt absentee parents and Gary Glitter will find this technology most interesting. Won't somebody think of the children/chickens....... _____________________
