Bio: Technical Engineer - Software

Area of Expertise: Technology Developer/Administrator

Topic: Technology

Headline: E-Transfer

Nutshell: Transfering physical/chemical
molecules across the network

Vision:

In the future, we’ll have scanners at

one end which’d scan the physical

dimensions of an object and the

chemical composition of each layer

and transmit them across.

A "Phy-Chem Printer" (Physical Chemical Printer )would then duplicate the item on the other end.

This would definitely be possible as there

are plastic printers already. But, I

shudder to think of the possibility

of biological transfer …

Teleportation over the net ???
