I think that in this day and age, if this kind of technology was available, the US would have it first and go on a rampage and NOT using cell phones, I think that people that do not know about the properties of cell phones should go take a course in them, because as Star Trek as this seems it is only that, I mean what happened right before the Millenium hit, people went into a freenzy because they thought it was the end of the world for crying out loud and guess what happened WE ALL WOKE UP THE NEXT DAY with a years supply of food!!!...I know we are technologically advancing everyday, but I dont think we are there yet, sorry to all you trekies that beleive...:) Posted by Jet, Yemen
