Times in your life have you been fooled.
I bet you have been fooled many times in your life.
I'm not here to fool you though.
I'm here to tell you the truth.
The truth is that I can't tell you the truth.
It's impossible to tell the truth.
So why don't we just conjure up something better than the truth.
Many writers have foreseen a future Worse than the present moment.
I'm not that kind of a writer, I want to see a future better than the present.
This future will be very swell, There will be instant transportation no need to go on a car anymore.
In a sense we already have this with the internet, but physically we cannot move and for reals we can’t take our mind to another place with the internet.
Or can we?
In this future of mine we gain ability to move physically and mentally using the internet we can literally fit through the fiber optics that go around the planet. But there’s a price for this.
It's big business and the exit portals and the entrance portals of course cost money to use and there are those people who own this stuff, and make fortunes out of it.
Some people will try to build their own exit an entrance portals because of the high costs of the already in place ones. Huge accidents will ensue and people will be transported only half to where they wanted to go.
Our main character is just that kind of a tinkerer. He wants the instant access to locations on the other side of the planet, he just doesn't have the means to buy the credits that would be required for the transportation. And when he tries to teleport himself with his own self-made teleport he literally gets cut up in half, Physically and also mentally on every level only half of the man arrives at the destination.
There are of course going to be those people that don't want to be teleported at all, Who won't use those services even if they could, kind of like the aborigines is of the modern world.
So in which group would you belong in this kind of a future?
The group that finds the means to use the modern teleportation to the fiber optics?
The group that thinkers and builds its own teleports and suffers the unforeseen consequences of these kind of voodoo solutions.
OR
The group that refuses to use this technology at all and just “lives in the past”.
So what is the moral of the story then?
Be very careful about building solutions for yourself but also be aware of the solutions that were built by others.
Thanks for reading.
