If you get a warm fuzzy feeling every time on of your social networking friends validates you by giving you a ‘like’, then you will be interested to see that there is a new jacket that gives you a hug every time you get a ‘like’ on Facebook.

It was invented and designed by Melissa Kit Chow, a student in Massachusetts Institute of Technology who said that it was designed to allow us to feel the warmth, support and love that we feel when we receive hugs.

It works through air pockets that are linked to a mobile phone that become inflated when someone ‘likes’ a post on Facebook.
