Hello, future SkyMall catalog product! MIT student Melissa Kit Chow has created a vest that inflates when you get a little love on Facebook! Excuse moi? We're going to let the description on her website do all the talking: "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, thereby allowing us to feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs. Hugs can also be sent back to the original sender by squeezing the vest and deflating it." Following this? Watch the hilar promo vid that walks you through this very necessary invention.
