People Should Do Teleportation
I hate traffic jam. Every morning I have to spend about one hour to get to workplace from my home. It's one hour, and it happens every day. Every. Day. For the rest of your (life | career | <put your own timeframe here>). That's just the morning. What happens in the evening could be more bizarre. Let's just assume the best case scenario, one hour in the morning and another in the evening. That's two hours per day, ten hours per week, and about 22 days per year. So, why can't I spend my 22 days per year on other activities instead of driving and insulting motorcycle driver.
People say laziness is the mother of all invention. Indeed. People are too lazy to walk, and they invent cars. People are too lazy to drive, and the roads are too crowded to hold another car. So, now, it's the right time to invent. People should invent teleportation. The idea of being able to move from one place to another instantly fascinates me. A lot. To the point that I do some research about on teleportation on the net. I know, call me freak.
Let's do some biological analysis. Movement is one aspect that differentiate animals (and humans) from plants. Plants can't move, but animals and humans can. What differentiate humans and animals is the mind. Humans ride cars, motorcycles, airplanes, and on the other hand animals ride their feet (or their bellies). Humans can innovate, looking for alternatives, pushing a pedal is easier than running on a steep hill. But still, pushing a pedal on a trafficked road is not a pleasant experience, especially if you're late for something. If you can moves instantly from one place to another, that's innovation.
I can imagine, in the future, everyone will be able to do teleportation. There will be teleporter machines and spawn centers machines. Governments will provide public teleportation service, rich people will have their private, more sophisticated (and less noise) teleporters in their bedrooms and bathrooms, and a spawn center in every room. People will be able to spawn in any public spawn centers. Most office buildings will have an array of spawn centers. People could also set their spawn point to their home's spawn center, so they don't necessarily walk from nearest public spawn center. There will be minor accidents, like people spawned at the wrong place, or people spawned three days later, or people disappeared completely, and so on and so forth. The imagination is endless.
