A gaggle of geeks in the U.S. and Britain have shaken out some technology that allowed them to conduct a transatlantic handshake via the Internet this week. Something called phantoms, which mimic the sense of touch by sending small impulses at very high frequencies, made the cybershake possible. When this tactile technology feels its way into the mainstream (about five years from now), trainee surgeons could use it to practice operations via the Internet, politicians could press the flesh back home without having to leave Capitol Hill, and big brothers away at college could log on and remind their little brothers back home who's boss.
