Will the world have hover cars and teleporters?
205531
there already are hover cars (just not yet in production).\nas for teleportation, i suppose it is not yet possible. think about it, existence is like a 4 dimensional coordinate system where the 3 dimensions (x,y,z) are dependent on the 4th coordinate, which is time. Right now, if we follow this 4d coordinate system, the whole function of existence would be continuous. The introduction of teleportation in this scenarion would cause the function of existence to be discontinuous, which would be very hard to explain. Put simply, it is really hard to drastically change the (x,y,z) coordinates as the time it takes for the change approaches zero (teleportation).

My first answer is probably not, because we would see future people by now.\n\nHowever, what if UFO's are time machines from the future?

transporters will perform that function eventually throughout the solar system ! for work, dates, vacations, shopping, school, research, etc., our great grand children to the 5th power will consider it normal. and yes successful sub atomic transportation has already been sucessfully tested and is growing with leaps and bounds and will completely change our world as we know it !

In the next few years there will be breakthroughs in quantum physics, communication and emotional control techniques, among many other things. this will create a mutually agreed, provable, unequivocal, undeniable belief structure that can be transmitted and conveyed to 90+% of the world's people, that takes a large chunk out of almost every religion and spiritual practice that exists today, and has every existed, and mashes it together so all languages and all cultures can understand and experience the truth of such wisdom. This is prophesised to happen about 2012, give or take a year, and will develop gradually to bring global peace by 2036, as prophesised. several galactic stars are coming into alignment which is boosting collective energies, so things like first contact with extra terrestrials and the ability to float unprotected in space will quickly follow. Travelling faster than the speed of light, and time travel, will also be developed by understanding the continuum and how to bend it. Peace is an easy stepping stone, being responsible with this knowledge, now thats gonna take a bit of dicipline.

It appears that the range is classified, but it can refuel in air anyway, so no, it doesn't need to land to go around the world.  It could, theoretically circumvent the world several times, as long as they had supplies and enough pilots to rotate shifts.

IT will surely be bikes+\ncars+\nrollerblading+\nbips+\nhritik+\nash-\nishadeol-\njohnabraham.

There is a little research and some guy even wrote a book claiming that teleportation is feasible.  But don't buy your home teleportation machine yet.  As yet the only thing that has been transported is a few laser beams.

So, what are you trying to prove this time? That cartoons the world over look strikingly similar, and motorbikes the world over look strikingly similar, and cars the world over look strikingly similar, and computer games and consoles not only LOOK similar, but aren't necessarily made by Sega or Nintendo, and that anyone, from anywhere in the world has the right (if not the ability) to make a corny little robot? If it sells, people from all over the world will make something similar. Money rules.\n\nOh, and I've told you before, stop pretending to be German! 8-O

Yes, it could be done, but you would need a very large field. Even so, scientists have allready created super electromagnets to levitate stuff.

It is a very interesting idea.  If you are good at electronics, I may be able use the motors from a RC car.

Its a matter of perspective, right now no. But later on, I'm sure it would be. What we need is a space elevator to make supplies cheap to transport, and we would need many people and robots to construct it. But in the film, it was powered by fusion, so in order to power something that massive, we would need something like that to power it.

good question.. u seem to think like the wachowski bros : ) .\n\nMaybe we are.. everyone's stuck on ZION and our virtual lives are on plane earth!!

Virtual Reality - almost there so this is most likely.\nBrain Transplants are currently too tricky.\n\nAlien Encounters would be cool - this is what I would like most. It would make veryone on Earth get along a bit better.

It's going to be a very clean and sterile world. Imagine a world without telephone poles. No electrical cords of any kind. No gas stations. No super markets. No stores. Why would you need these things when they'll have replicators. Very much like Star Trek. You just tell it what you want and poof there it is. Someday everything will be run off of satellites. I mean everything. From flashlights to your car. If they even have cars. Why would you need a car when you can just think about where you want to be and it happens. Energy will simply be beamed down from satellites. It's a creepy world. They'll look back on us and wonder how we could live a barbaric life as we do. The way things are going though. There's a distinct possibility mankind will kill itself off before then. No doubt there will be a one world order. Maybe even time travel. The future is a scary place.\n.

Wow, good question. My feeling is that hover cars are just not practical for the U.S. To me, the better course of action is to promote hybrid cars and make them better each year. As far as smart homes, these are already a fact. You just won't see them in normal communities because they are very, very expensive and will probably remain so for many years. And how much more unlimited does one want as far as commodities at our disposal? What commodities do we lack? I see ads for things I never even thought about, much less need or want, as well as limitless ads for automobiles, PCs, cell phones, foods, clothing - and on and on. There is just so much going on, that the latest thinkers and inventors and their ideas may get lost in all the information at our disposal.

100 years might be a bit quick, but I think this may happen faster than one might think at first.\n\nRay Kurzweil is a well-known predictor of technology trends and suggests that the technology to 'move' a person from their brain to an electronic replica will happen in the not-so-distant future. Once this is possible, the technology needed for interstellar flights will be greatly simplified because any approach to transport a human (as they currently live, in a biological body) would consume incredible resources just to provide an environment in which they could survive.

If it could, you can bet that either the police or the military would have the technology first. It would sure make high-speed pursuit a lot easier!
