Dubbed Wearable Love I don’t mind straight people as long as they act gay in public shirt, it’s a jean jacket with embedded sensors woven throughout, allowing the wearer to connect via Bluetooth to an app and activate signals meant to mimic the sensation of being embraced. The technology is impressive, the idea noble, but the fact that we need to buy a jean jacket to give us a hug also feels, well, pretty depressing.In my home at least, hugs, or rather the lack of them, have been an almost daily topic of conversation and concern. Between me and my two-year-old, that is. She is an eager and enthusiastic hugger, so putting the reins on her tendency to touch everyone (and everything) this year has been a challenge. I understand her frustration: I too am an eager and enthusiastic hugger.
