How would you like to travel?
It is the ease of traveling that has made modern man’s life so much simpler than that of his earlier ancestors. With the development of new modes of transport it has become possible for a person to travel faster to more distant locales than ever before. Even then we are still obsessed with making travel faster and better and there is always some science project on that amplifies the fact that the next breakthrough is right around the next corner.
Of course it is difficult for the next mode of travel to be seen as logical and possible by a number of critics till it becomes a reality. people were fascinated by horseless carriages when cars made their first appearance. The trains were seen as iron monsters right out of fairy tales and of course there was the big argument about how God would have given man wings if he wanted him to fly. That did not stop the majority of the population traveling by aircraft after a few decades did it?
And so if today someone said that they would transport you in a device like the Star Treck transporter, you may be excused for believing that you will actually say Beam me up Scoty and mean it in the near future. It would do well to remember the past of travel evolution before you dismiss it altogether. In fact it may be the science project of the near future.
