Right now, we have some pretty great travel options. Driving is definitely an improvement over a horse-drawn carriage in terms of expediancy and airplanes, despite the ridiculous fees that come along with them, are a great way to cross oceans without putting yourself at the mercy of the sea. Yeah, we've figured out how to get from point A to point B as quick as we can, or we can slow it down and enjoy the journey with cruises, or trains, or pedi-cabs. And there's always good old-fashioned walking. Still, it would be really cool -- seriously, mind-blowingly awesome -- if we had some of these other possibilities for travel.
1) Time Travel
So, where would you like to go? London, Paris, or the 1920s? Think about it -- you could mingle with legends that have long since passed on or you could hang out with your grandparents as teenagers. Talk about a serious trip!
2) Instantaneous Travel
Why use any mode of transportation at all when teleporting is possible? You pick a destination, concentrate real hard, snap your fingers, and you're there. Maybe you'd need floo powder, maybe a beam of light would come down to transport you (probably run by some guy named Scotty), or maybe there'd be certain teleportation stations, the particulars are still a bit unclear. In any case, it'd be much better for the environment and it would save time during rush hour.
3) Space Travel
OK, so we can travel to the moon, and that's really impressive, but what if we could actually travel, Jetson-like, between stars or galaxies in our own personal hover-crafts? If we could travel though space the way we travel on Earth, the possibilities would be limitless.
4) Magic Travel
Imagine a world where we could travel by some form of magic, be it a floating bubble, a broom, or on the back of a dragon. How great would that be?
5) Cartoon Travel
If the Road Runner could travel through a brick wall that was painted to look like a tunnel, then why can't the rest of us? It would be an added bonus if we could run really fast even with there was no ground beneath our feet -- just so long as we remembered not to look down before we'd reached the other side, of course.
