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. See. And they thought I was mad. Tractor beam: | Click to see full-size image. |

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. This is the image (uploaded to Photobucket):  |

Reminds me of when Jonathan Ross got arrested for stealing kitchen utensils.
