1. Teleportation<\/h2>\n

“Who wouldn\u2019t want this! I personally hate travelling and had to travel to Australia recently for 5 days. It takes 24 hours to get there, you are 9 hours time-shifted and just when you\u2019re getting over it, you have to return. <\/span><\/p>\n

“What\u2019s interesting is that quantum teleportation has already been achieved. Researchers successfully teleported a photon from Earth to a satellite in orbit. The problem with the classic \u201cStar Trek\u201d concept of teleportation of humans is that for it to work you essentially have to duplicate yourself meaning you would then probably need to destroy the original form of yourself! Of course, it would be very useful for us at HighQ because as a global business we could stay in much closer contact with our clients in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific.”<\/span><\/p>\n
