    Yeah, that’s a pretty strong statement. I’m sure if we had the technology it would see a ton of use. Could we survive without it? Sure, but that goes for most useful technologies.

      Warp drive, replicator, holodeck, transporters… So many technologies in ST that would change everything if they existed.

        Particularly replicator and transporter. It would completely pancake down the entirety of the manufacturing and transport industries.

          I’d not trust transporters, but replicators would be great. If I had replicators, I’d open a replicator restaurant, then hire a few chefs to just cook random stuff all day to scan and then give out to the guests.

          Maybe I’d travel around the world, scanning the best and freshest ingredients. But I’d travel by shuttle, not transporter.
