Sean Asks the Big Questions – The Future
April 27th, 2009

Welcome to Sean Asks the Big Questions, where Sean asks the big questions.

Today’s Big Question is about The Future.

You know how I unabashedly love the future. I am secretly in a state of child-like giddiness almost all of the time over the technology that we have now. We live in The Jetsons now. This is the future, and it’s the bomb.

So I had an idea for where it goes from here.

My homey Phil Litevsky just sent out a Twitter update talking about having lunch outside and enjoying the scenery. I clicked on a link and I came to a page where he’s got his location Google Mapped, with a picture of his view beside it.

I want to know when Apple or Google is going to create the technology where I click on that picture and then can open it up and step through it and actually go there, right then.

That’s what we need.

Do you think that’s something we will see in our lifetime?

  • Transporter technology would be VERY hard to achieve, and essentially it would be like cloning yourself, as technically you wouldn't be the same person on the other end as the one who went in. One flaw in the reconstruction process and your personality could be altered totally and completely!

    It would be made of awesome if it could happen, but probably not in our lifetime. Looking to the future though you do have a point - I think that we can expect things like what your 'homey' did to become pervasive, taking our 2d social networks like Twitter and FB into the real world through mobile technologies and wearable digital interfaces!

    I am obsessed with the future and technology too and I look forward to all the amazing things that will come from it! :)

  • That's a good one too.
  • Unless the big buisnesess and governments can find a way to make a profit out of it., and keep it under their control. It'll never see the light of day. Hell it might already exist.. but ... well ... you know...
  • Well it would probably cost extra on top of your regular internet bill for that service...
  • Then the airlines would be out of business.

    I think there was some talk of transporting atoms, and since humans, like all matter are made of atoms, a transporting device is theoretically possible, but I seem to recall it's at very early stages of development. Hopefully withing our lifetime, man.

  • Yeah, cuz stuff is moving so fast anyway. I think it's reasonable.
