    autumn

    yes, of course! it would save so much time (and money)
    not to mention we wouldn't use any other kind of transport, so pollution levels would decrease (I hope the device works with solar panels, or I'm not buying it ;))

    Many years ago, Larry Niven (a leading science fiction writer) wrote an article discussing the pros and cons of telportation.

    I don't remember all the details, but in summary, these were his conclusions:

    If you need a device at the transmission site, but not at the destination site: Terrorists can send bombs anywhere in the world. The world would not be a safe place to live.

    If you need a device at the destination site, but not the transmission site: Kidnappings and murders would be commonplace. The world would not be a safe place to live.

    If you don't need the device at either the transmission site or the destination site: Total mayhem in the world. Possibly the end of civilization.

    You need a device at both the transmission site and the destination site: That would be okay, just don't put one INSIDE your house. If a thief knows your "phone number," they can enter your home and steal your stuff.
