If I had A Super Power...

It would be teleportation. Instead of a 10 min walk across campus for class, just teleport to your seat. Why drive 12 hours to get home over the summer? Simply jump through a worm hole to get there. You can bet my ears perked up when Fox News claimed that teleportation was 2010's greatest breakthrough. Have all of my childish dreams been realized? Unfortunately, the only thing teleporting are light particles. Because information is the only material that is transferred, the particle is dematerialized on one end of the teleportation and put back together on the other end. Unfortunately, humans are much more complex. Putting a human back together once his information has been transferred is unfathomable. The good news: Even without human teleportation, this technology is the next step in quantum computing. It provides the basis for computer processing lightyears ahead of current technology. Fortunately, lightening fast computing was my second preferred super power.

  1. Let me know as soon as you get this teleportation thing figured out!

    Also, you are awesome!

    And your blog is cute.

  2. So we've got teleportation, flight, and invisibility being developed. Wall climbing is in the works thanks to geckos. I can see how different techs can be combined to make impenetrable skin, even laser beam and X-Ray eyes. But is anyone working on my morphing super power?
