    Have an intercontinental drink

    Communal drinking is often seen as an important social interaction that helps bind friends and relationships. But what would this matter if your friend or partner is in a completely different geographical location.


    Communal drinking is often seen as an important social interaction that helps bind friends and relationships. But what would this matter if your friend or partner is in a completely different geographical location.

    Researchers at the MIT Media Lab in Boston have developed a Wi-Fi wine glass which allows people in long-distance relationships to feel more in touch with one and other.

    According to the New Scientist, the high-tech glass starts glowing warmly when either you or your partner both raises your glass to take a sip. Ultimately this is supposed to transcend a feeling of a shared drinking experience.

    The New Scientist reports that “the developers have incorporated a variety of coloured LEDs, liquid sensors and wireless (GPRS or Wi-Fi) links into a pair of glass tumblers”.

    This new technology could become more useful than just a thoughtful and loving moment via Wi-Fi. It could potentially be used in hospitals or old age homes monitoring the amount of liquid intake of patients or elderly people.
