While we're on the subject of technology of the future: http://www.aip.org/physnews/graphics/html/teleport.htm

Any search on Google for "quantum teleportation" will give you a better idea of what this stuff is all about. So far they've only managed to move photons around, that is, a quantum within the visual spectrum (a quantum being the single smallest unit of electromagnetic energy possible, as I understand it), and they say it will never work on macroobjects (toasters, humans, more importantly frags), but I think that anything is possible when you have the theory behind it. We'll see. Interesting stuff, regardless.

Lovely TV, seems like the hue and intensity of the picture isn't so great as of yet though? What I don't get it how they make the light from the projector stop moving.
