Internet Teleport
The BBC runs an interesting article on future potential for ‘teleports’.
…within a human generation, we might be able to replicate three-dimensional objects out of a mass of material made up of small synthetic “atoms”…
…You capture it digitally, ship it over across the network, and then reproduce a physical object that looks just like the original object, and moves just like it…
The biggest challenge yet is how to construct objects with ‘nano-dust’. It is a huge barrier to get past and, in the mean time, just the mentioning of teleporting seems laughable.
