Kramar
I found an interesting magazine article about the end of the "kramar" in our society:
«The Hug Shirt is a shirt that makes people send hugs over distance. Embedded in the shirt there are sensors that feel the strength of the touch, the skin warmth and the heartbeat rate of the sender and actuators that recreate the sensation of touch, warmth and emotion of the hug to the shirt of the distant loved one. The Hug Shirt is a Bluetooth accessory for Java enabled mobile phones. Hug shirts don't have any assigned phone number, all the data goes from the sensors Bluetooth to your mobile phone and your mobile phone delivers the hug data to your friend's phone and it is seamlessly transmitted Bluetooth to his or her shirt. Sending hugs is as easy as sending an SMS and you will be able to send hugs while you are on the move. The Hug Shirt has been nominated as one of the best inventions of 2006 by Time Magazine».
(I realized that in my over twelve thousand words report from Emmaboda, the word "hug" is the one I wrote more often.)
