Vibrating Rubber Cellphones
Vibrating rubber cellphones could be the next big thing in mobile communications. They allow people to press the phone 1:o transmit vibrations along with their (51) words. According to a research team at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the idea will make (52) more fun.

Beneath these speakers sit pressure sensors (传感器), so you can transmit vibration as well as (58) it. When you squeeze with a finger, a vibration signal is transmitted (59) your callers corresponding finger, its speed (60) on how hard you squeeze.
Chang says that within a few minutes of being given the phones, students were using the vibration feature to (61) emphasis to what they were saying.

Chang thinks vibralanguages could function for the same (63) as texting: sometimes people want to communicate (64) without everyone nearby knowing what theyre saying. And (65) actually being able to shake someones hand when you close a business deal, she says.
