A moment ago I noticed this on a slash dot comment, been a good software developer requires the following:

1. understand the problem (interact with people)
2. understand the external constraints (interact with people)
3. design an effective solution to the problem
4. while designing the solution, design some tests to verify that the problem is solved (and remains solved)
5. code the effective solution to the problem
6. teach other team-members about your solution to the problem (interact with people)

This seems very much true, because in people interaction comes the true problem solving aspect of computer science.

In my last post I forgot to include the impossibles of reverse-teleportation, which is the idea of bringing objects to our current location. For example, it is not possible to teleport an apply, because it lacks all the physical properties, nor is it capable of bringing any physical flesh to another location. So basically while this model is quite useful when transferring data type information, but it is physically limited.

The other day I was thinking, in a video game like first person shooter type, teleportation works by changing the character's location parameters and sometimes reconstructing the interaction world, but not the actual character. So in real life why does teleportation always seem to revolve around the notion of reconstructing the human body, and why do we even need to destroy the flesh and recreate one, in the virtual world the character are almost never deleted and recreated, unless starting a new one.

So here is the catch, would it be teleportation, if we enter a chamber, then the room or everything around us starts to transform or reconstruct itself, when the process is done, we exit the chamber to find a new world around us. You could call this reverse-teleportation if the idea doesn't seem to wrap around, but just imaging the effects.

For example, I am in my office coding away on the program, then my friend Bob asks me to join him on the golf course, so I walk over to the tele-chamber and selects the destination, and the room starts to change after the chamber gate is closed. After a short waiting, the cover releases and I am standing in a golf course, though virtual, but every information is real, such as the green grass, the virtual image of my friend standing not far away projected through he's own PDA. and my digital golf club and stuff. so every swing of mine and his are instantly updated at each of our location, the weather constantly refreshed, and the entire room will looks like out door, as if I am standing at a different location, which I am, because this is no longer my office. Everything I do or see takes effect only at the golf course, and not the office. So technically speaking I am teleported to a different location. When the event is done, I enter the chamber and returns to my office without travel.

If you have any thoughts on it, feel free to email me, though this seems like a crazy idea and too far into the future, but I don't think its a waste of time thinking about it.
