Touch Me, Feel Me

It won't be a surpise to the average scifi reader that someone has developed a networked "hug suit." Tim Worstall is, though, amazed by what is unsaid :

They manage to get all the way through the report without mentioning what it’ll actually be used for. How long before the first spam email asking whether you have such a suit? And would you like to be squeezed by that 18 year old Ukrainian girl you can watch on the webcam?
Perhaps Oprah will take an in depth look at how this might impact pron addiction on tomorrow's show. (I'll update the link on Thursday after the show runs)

And, yes, it does seem like a good investment opportunity...the mind simply boggles at the possible variations and add-ons. Of course, there is no reason that this has to be a one way thing either.
