Haptic Boob-Touching!

Scientists have developed a method for synthetic touching, and the example they use is so that people can touch breasts at a distance. For remote detection of breast lumps, of course! What other reason could people have to create a way for people to imagine they're touching real boobs over the internet? Now all they need to do is make a machine that lets a real breast feel like it's being touched. It's always nice when real science overlaps with sex toys; everyone wins.
