How about transporters and quantum wormholes?

Forget 1 hour flight times - we're talking INSTANTANEOUS arrival at any desired destination!

And to use an old Steven Wright joke, if you put instant coffee in a microwave oven while using a quantum wormhole, will you go back in time?

You know that someday these things will be built, and our ancestors will laugh at our primitive means of transportation, just as I was once amused at an ad in a 1939 issue of National Geographic Magazine that boasted of an airline that promised to fly passengers across the USA in only 19 hours, after about 10 stops along the way or so.
