Just don&#8217;t talk about teleporting people in your story. The technical base of our society is information commerce, and in the next 20 years it will radically change. Read the semiconductor industry&#8217;s roadmap. We&#8217;re just going to gleefully think it&#8217;s going to happen on the movie screen, and we will ignore investments in science and technology.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a really incredibly exciting frontier in science that didn&#8217;t exist 15 or 20 years ago, and it&#8217;s this quantum information science, which brings together traditional computer science and quantum mechanics.
