Random Thought - Teleporters
As much of a nerd as I am, I have never watched a single episode of Star Trek or any of the spin off series. It's impact on pop culture is ever present however and it's through that I learned of teleporters. "Beem me up Scotty." That's the phrase that jumps to mind whenever I here the word teleporter.
Just imagine how totally awesome it would be if we had the capability to teleport. (Energy crisis solved I do believe.) I can't tell you how many times I have gotten up the road a little ways from my house and realized I had forgotten a vital object. Instead of turning around, driving back home, retrieving the object, getting back in the car and resuming my original path, I could simply call whomever was at home and make them teleport it to the front seat of my car.
Another instance where this would be extremely useful. Road trips. Don't get me wrong, I love to view the beautiful varying landscapes that make up America but after traveling from my home to California a few years ago (a 27 hour drive) I think I would rather just be there instantaneously. Makes visiting the in-laws much easier if I can go home at night and return in the morning. Of course flying there would have been a lot shorter but after witnessing the horror of 9/11, I think I'll keep my feet planted firmly on the ground. I just wish I could drive to my dream destinations across the Atlantic, guess that's what alcohol is for. Courage.
My point is that we should be researching the crap out of this. It would be so cool to not have to put up with slow-as-molasses drivers or distracted texting drivers or idiotic drivers in general. And waiting in mile long lines to board planes would be a thing of the past. Alright scientist, you have your goal. Go!
Just a thought.
