Re: If you could Teleport to anywhere....
I think this thread has (sort of) shown that each of us has the power to return in our minds to the places that gave us the happiest times.
We may not be able to physically travel there, but mentally we can. This is our own kind of time machine...teleporter if you like.
Obviously this does not permit travel into the future, but then, I am not sure that it is a place I really want to go to.
With modern technology it is also possible to visit places that we are unlikely ever to go to, either for financial reasons or the fact that we do not want to do the packing, the flying, the waiting in line at airports etc.
We can see the sunrise on a tropic isle....we can see the majesty of the Taj Mahal, we can travel down the canals of Venice in a Gondola(without the pong)...we can visit any place we want...with a good brew of tea in our hand, and the thought of our own comfy bed when it is time to lay down our head.
There will be no Delhi Belly, Rangoon Runs, we will not be eaten alive by mozzies with clogs on...the downside?....well, you tell me.
