　　Vibrating rubber cellphones could be the next big thing in mobile communications. They allow people to communicate by squishing the phone to transmit 1 along with their spoken words. According to a research team at the MIT Media Lab in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the idea will make 2 more fun.
　　Many mobile phones can already be made to vibrate 3 ring when you do not want people to know you are getting a call. But these vibrations, 4 by a motor spinning an eccentric weight inside the device, are too crude for subtle communication, says Angela Chang of the lab’s Tangible Media Group. “they’ re 5 on or off,” she says.
　　But when you grip Chang’s prototype latex cellphone, your fingers and thumb wrap around five 6 speakers. They vibrate 7 your skin around 250 times per second. Beneath these speakers sit pressure sensors, so you can transmit vibration as well as 8 it. When you squeeze with a finger, a vibration signal is transmitted 9 your caller’s corresponding finger. Its 10 depends on how hard you squeeze.
　　She says that within a few minutes of being given 11 the phones, students were using the vibration feature to add emphasis to what they were saying or to interrupt the other speaker. Over time, people even began to transmit their 12 kind of ad hoc “Morse code”. Which they would repeat back to show they were following what the other person was saying. “It was pretty easy to communicate, though we didn’t specifically pre-arrange 13,” says David Milovich, one of the students who tried out the device.
　　Chang thinks “vibralanguages” could 14 for the same reason as texting: sometimes people want to communicate something 15 everyone nearby knowing what they’re saying. “And imagine actually being able to shake someone’s hand when you close a business deal,” she says.
