It would be a great weapon for self-defense in the London
and NYC subways [underground] since the government has not passed any laws against carrying a flashlight [torch] yet. Besides, you could get one with downloadable ring-tones.

If I send only energy waves, the energy required to for a 2
Kg mass would be equal to the fuel in a 30 megaton bomb. To create a 100 Kg person's mass would take fifty times that [don't ask, I didn't actually bother to solve the equation and I don't know for sure that critical mass is 2 Kg.] But the energy would create "dust" [dust to dust, rust to rust] and it would be dead, have no memory and no DNA. As soon as we develop the power of the one and only GOD, we can create a new universe and wait a billion years for it to cool and condense. Evolution [part of God's plan] takes over and tada, you've been transported.

When StarTrek was in its first run, Shatner and Nemoy
learned how to fly. In one episode, Kirk asks for some hyperspace navigation from Spock and he whips out his trusty full-size, metal E6b, slides the blade and spins the wheel and reports some arrival time. StarTrek also had Compact Flashcards 25 years before the PC, everybody carried them around and slipped them into card readers on the consoles and in the arms of chairs. They also had computers that talked and typewriters that recognized voice. Sulu like guns and sword fighting. The women wore dresses that were so short, they would make the hookers in NYC blush.

I think Gene Rodenberry was sexual oppressed. Green women,
pleasure planets, Kirk made it with every crew member and visitor from another planet. Tribbles were "born pregnant" and on the Next Generation, they had sex as often as possible. But it is all fun. Like stories of old, because of the laws, an author would write about crazy kings in Denmark or tiny countries that fought wars over which end of the egg to open. Sci-Fi is the great protest for social change. It is safe to say because it isn't about Clinton or Bush or Korea. I'm waiting for the new sci-fi movie, I WAS A TEENAGE HOOKER FROM OUTER SPACE followed by I AM A TEEN NUDIST FROM ANOTHER PLANET.
