Week 5- Hugs over the internet?

Someone needs a hug... over the internet. Creepy or awesome? This article from online is pretty interesting.  However, I think it is creepy to give someone a hug over the internet. Imagine how facebook and myspace would be if pedophiles and strangers were giving hugs to young girls. Not a pretty sight. I wouldn't like getting hugs from people I don't know. Especially over the internet where people could be faking their identity. The idea of a jacket delivering a hug to children if parents are working late is out of the ordinary. It would be like magic. I don't think there's any meaning in hugging if your going to let a jacket do it for you. There will definitely be a lot of issues and problems if hugs were given over the internet. There are problems concerning the internet today. Men are faking their identities and making myspace and facebook pages to get in contact with girls. Not only do they flirt but they also pressure you into meeting up with them. From there, things could get worst. A hug doesn't need to be done over the internet.
