Mosaic Life

I can't wait until teleporters are prevalent and all the bugs are worked out of them (right now they are not close). It would make lunch so much more fun. First of all, we would not have to be limited to what is around us. If we wanted to go lunch at Fisherman's Wharf...bazzamo! We'd be there in an instance. Say Chinatown was tickling our appetite...whap! We'd be there in an instance. Let's say we're in the mood for a Philly Cheesesteak, but we don't want one of these cheap California imitations...swoosh! Hello the City of Brotherly Love! It'd make like so much more easy, but I can see possible problems with this. People would be flocking to the popular restaurants and so it would create an hour glass effect. Normally, a good restaurant would be limited by the people who were within driving distance, but under this new teleportation paradigm, the good restaurants would be overly crowded and your chances of good food would become more difficult. One the bright side, bad restaurants would be forsaken more than they are today, and if you open up a new restaurant, location doesn't matter, as long as you have a good rating with ZAGAT and a high-volume teleporter on the premises. What scares me the most about teleporters is that when there is a glitch, it could damage your genetic makeup. I'd hate to be teleported and have to live the rest of my life with somebody else's nose or something. All in all, teleporation is seemingly a good thing for society, and when this upcoming California Recall election takes place, I know that I am voting for the candidate that is pro-teleportation—I think that may be Arnold.
