March 3rd: Which made-up thing do you badly wish was real?
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said, “If only I had a transporter…” Need to visit family? Want to see a far off friend? Only have a couple days and want to travel? My answer is “Beam me up, Scotty!”
While there are a lot of great inventions that Star Trek introduced over its various incarnations, the Transporter remains the most pivotal and my favorite. According to Wikipedia, “A transporter is a fictional teleportation machine used in the Star Trek universe. Transporters allow for teleportation by converting a person or object into an energy pattern (a process called “dematerialization”), then sending (“beaming”) it to a target location or else returning it to the transporter, where it is reconverted into matter (“rematerialization”).” So the next time you want to make a quick getaway, think about the transporter and beam away!
