Would you use major future tech straight away like uhhh teleportation or food dispensers?? Or would you be slow or never use it at all??

uh aren't there plenty of food dispensers already

I'd probably be hesitant of trying out any very recently released tech no matter how impressive it is. Once it's fine tuned I'd be more interested into giving it a shot.

I'd avoid flying cars due to the inherent danger. If a ground-based car experiences a minor technical failure then it ends with the car on the side of the road. A flying car experiencing a mechanical failure could mean a fast and intimate meeting with the ground.

I've always wished the gadgets in Phil of the Future were real. I'd use the Wizard every day for freaking everything. If something like that was ever released, I'd hop on board that train immediately!

And imagine accidents in the sky like collisions.. people on the ground can’t drive well and we expect them to fly well? Then there is new traffic laws, learning to think.. that you are driving up, down, not just forward and back and at angles. Sounds maddening.

I don't trust teleportation but I generally like to embrace newer technologies. I am a regular user of AI now and I embraced VR.

The problem with a lot of new tech is it is expensive and usually better cheaper stuff comes out later. Those who rushed to buy the HD TVs a couple of years later had inferior screens to those who waited and also got it for a lower price.

Yeah teleportation like in Star Trek is freaky, I’d be like ensign who always uses shuttles in Next Gen.
