It would also have recreational uses, allowing people to touch and feel each other over the Internet.

"There are certainly strange aspects to this," Jordan said. "You can hit each other hard enough to leave little bruises, and there are bigger versions of the equipment we're using which could really cause some damage."

I can't wait to hear the response from the technology-shunning religious psycho that always pipes up whenever there's a new scientific/technological discovery along these lines. I can just hear him now... "You are the Devil's henchmen! You people are trying to play God by making it possible to touch each other over the Internet. Can't you think for one minute about the sinning and evil that this is going to cause? Please, please, think of the children, and see the Light of Jeeeeeezus Christ!" :rolleyes:
