My guess is matter transportation. Just as we can now send a photograph or a voice to the other side of town or the other side of the  world in a fraction of a second, so we will be able to transport solid objects, even people.


The thing about the science fiction "beam me up scotty ffs" machine is that it is actally just creating a copy of the person and destroying the original.

Some sites don't allow 'hotlinking' of images, and if the page trying to display the image is on a different IP address it won't show it.
