New Vest "Hugs" You When You Get Facebook "Likes"

Leave it to those MIT kids!
Melissa Chow, a student at MIT, has created a vest that inflates when you get a “Like” on Facebook!
The pockets in the vest receive a signal from the wearer’s mobile phone to puff up!
Aww! As if we didn’t already love “Likes” enough! Ha!
You can also squeeze the jacket and deflate it to send a hug back to the sender of the “Like.”
So great right?!
Melissa said it was created to “[allow] us to feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs.”
Right now it seems to just be a prototype. Boo! We need these to happen for reals!
Would U wear one?
