Holoportation. Beam Yourself Anywhere
Other
A company called PORTL sells a 7-foot-tall booth into which you can beam a 3-D image of yourself to anywhere in the world.
The person doing the teleportation must be authorised by the PORTL owner to beam in. All you then have to do is plug it into the wall and turn it on."
Ever changing world we live in eh? 
I'm sure this type of technology will be miniaturised in time. Augmented reality i.e. glasses that show a superimposed image with your normal vision will allow you feel someone is in the same room despite being thousands of miles away. The technology we have to day will seem incredibly primitive in 50 years time. It will be like the valve radio is to us today or this tv compared to today's tvs.
And having Christmas dinner with our dead relatives on a faraway island perhaps. Uncanny but viable I guess.
MelissaLee1963 Yes I wonder if brains will be scanned when we people die in the future very carefully so as to allow a electronic version of that personality that will not age and can be alive via augmented reality again to their younger relatives. Such brain patterns could be used in human like robots who could colonise planets like mars that are not viable for organic life except in domes etc. You would literally send the brain pattern electronically to mars where a robot body made there would allow that person to continue to exist. That robot body wouldn't have to be human shaped or even human sized. Lots of rocky planets would be habitable for robots even those that are extremely cold and dark. We can only guess at how future people will live if they live at all as future wars could destroy all life and that will be the end of our existence as a species. There are a lot of crazy people in the world now with crazy powerful weapons.
Teleportation which is likely impossible for organic life would be fully possible for robotic life. You simply send the brain pattern and load it into a different robot body at the destination. You could have a morning on Mars, an afternoon on Titan and an evening on Europa as a robot. All theoretically possible when the technology becomes advanced enough.
Its star trek all over again M, yes you are right B, technology is advancing so fast
I'd have a bash tho wouldn't you T?I'd be a bit wary I might re-assemble in a worse state than my present one though lol.
MelissaLee1963 I can't see real teleportation ever working. Trillions of atoms needing to be exactly replicated would require phenomenal levels of energy and accuracy. It's about as likely as wishing yourself to the other side of the galaxy and appearing there in an instant. It's fantasy only I believe. Don't get me wrong I'm sure there will be a way to do basic teleportation where a square of iron is destroyed in one place and a near identical one is created elsewhere based on the data sent but even a single blood cell is extremely complex and would probably be impossible to teleport. Even the great challenge of travelling to the stars is super easy compared to teleporting a human.
You might be able to send a copy of the DNA, start growing a body based on that DNA and then destroy the original host body again doing a brain scan and somehow work out a way of copying that brain structure into the new body but that process could take years and not ideal for a spaceship wanting to transfer its passengers to the ground.
