      Teleportation is very close to being physically infeasible just by definition But we can kind of achieve it by sitting in our houses doing everything online instead of physically going to things Honestly we should just get rid of the "office" part of office jobshttps://twitter.com/cstross/status/1231166941517221888 …

      Teleportation would solve SO MANY problems. The need for cars, roads, pedestrian crossings, 2M deaths/year from road traffic accidents, airline check-in queues, rush-hour commuting, house price inflation, half our energy consumption, real estate issues … https://twitter.com/AstroKatie/status/1230986278759469056 …

      This is why it's so unique infuriating when science fiction depicts "cyberspace" as a virtual world where you still have to walk to go places The whole point of the "cyber" is to not have the "space"

      Replying to @BootlegGirl @arthur_affect

      I figure the ideal reality is the colorful Matrix at the end of Revolutions, with everyone empowered with Neo's flight abilities (Obviously, I'm sure that will soon canonically not be how it happened, but until we know for sure...)

      It is interesting seeing Star Trek: Picard try to do action and intrigue plots in a world where casual teleportation is easily accessible It does raise the question of why cities and towns as we know them should even exist, or for that matter why buildings should have doors

      Asimov did a story about that, "It's Such a Beautiful Day" Because he was on record as being a nerd who never went outside and preferred life in an apartment in a megacity to any kind of nature or exercise So he felt it worthwhile to challenge his own beliefs

      It's set in a world where teleportation is cheap and everyone uses it Every building has a "Door" that can take you to any other Door in the world with the right code So all life is lived inside of buildings

      Until one day this single mom experiences a Door malfunction, which is supposed to be impossible And a guy actually shows up at the outside of her house and comes in through the emergency small-d door required by law, the experience of which freaks her out

      Which is when she learns for the first time that she's actually in a geographic settlement where the school and grocery store and office etc she was assigned to are within physical walking distance To save energy for the Door and because accidents like this still happen

      And her kid is given a map and told how to walk to school until the issue gets fixed The point of the story is that after this happens she slowly realizes the kid has become "addicted" to the outside and is sneaking out of the house to explore the neighborhood

          His brain has changed the way it works because of the incident, he now hates the Door, he needs to know where things physically are in the world and how they fit together, he needs to see things from the outside
