Name: tokyoguy

From: Japan

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 ???
