I'm back on the Long and Short Review topics after some time out having chemotherapy, and I know exactly what to say to this one...
Teleportation.
I've always been a bit concerned as to how teleportation would actually work if a device was used. How would we know if the device was actually transporting the person or if the person arriving at the other end was a clone? Even if the clone had all the person's memories, the original would still have been destroyed and nobody would be any the wiser.
So what I would really like is a teleportation device that really does move the original person to the new destination. Mainly because I hate flying and would love to be able to just appear in another country without having to put myself through all that.
I'm curious to see what everyone else will say!
Teleportation would be so cool!
ReplyDeleteNear instantaneous travel would be a brilliant thing to be able to do!
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice for travel. There are many places I'll never see simply because I can't stand being on airplanes for too long.
ReplyDeleteTeleportation has always fascinated me. Would love to see it happen.

Teleportation was my first, knee-jerk, response as well - would definitely make things easier but there's always so many transporter accidents! :/
ReplyDeleteI'm with Stephen (no matter how safe or cheap it may become, I'm not paying to be searched and weighed and told not to knit).
ReplyDeleteTeleportation only on Earth, though? No version of interplanetary travel?
