By the time any super fast people transporter is ready, we will probably have the technology to virtually teleport people anywhere in virtuality instead of reality. In other words, people will no longer need to leave their house. Goods do not need to be transported at super high speed because goods are not sentient and therefore do not get bored on long trips.

Communications and Transportations are important to our infrastructure. Good infrastructure is necessary for the growth of society.
Elon Musk got all the things Right! Tesla is a good investment looking into the future.

Not sure if I particularly agree with your comment, Skeptic. I believe that a hyperloop is much more plausible than a device that can de-materialize an individual, and then have them re-materialize in a different location thousands of miles away.

Goldenl, it looks like from the thumbs up that you got, and from the thumbs down I got, that many people badly misinterpreted my statement like you seem to have done initially. Teleportation of people will not be possible in reality because it will merely copy & delete rather than move people, and deleting people is not acceptable because it is murder. However in the future people will cease to live most of their lives in reality and will instead live mostly in virtualities (virtual realities) where many things including teleportation are very easily possible which we have seen from the days of Doom 1 for example.

"Skeptic >> can virtuality let you travel thousands of miles to taste gourmet food?"

Even in the future where some people can taste virtual gourmet food like its supposed to be, I'll get stuck with the low end sucker-with-a-wire-that-connects-to-my-USB accessory.
