Blasters?

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

1) Blasters - 2060 or more because it would take a lot of research and development to concentrate a group of particles to the point where they can hurt someone
2) Transporters - in the vicinity of 2030 becuase if you think about the theory of it, its not really that complicated, all you do is record the matter in a specific area and then send that digital data to another location where that matter is recreated, the only barrier is recreating the matter from the recorded data, either that or simply moving each particle one by one at a very highspeed and then recompiling them at the destination
3) never....simply because you cannot stop a ray of light
4) 240 or sooner because once you figure out how to make a hologram odds are that by that time an interactive algorythm would have been created. Add forcefields and you have a hologram you can touch, as for the portable transmitter the Doctor has in Voyager, i don't think thats possible

Blasters- 2075, but they will not look like Star Wars ones, but more like the star trek phasers.

Transporters- 2100- for real use on a practical level.

Lightsabers- Never, unless some new technology builds a solid powerful beam of limited length that can be used as a sword.

Holos- 2060

Interesting responses.

I totally agree about the lightsaber issues. Are they possible?? Definately not with the technology we have today, and maybe not ever. Who knows what we will develop in the future though. And would they be practical? Probably not. A weapon like that would only be useful if you had something like the force to guide you.

Transporters would be really wierd. If we had them, wouldn't they totally eliminate the need for cars? And kids would have no legitimate reason for being late to class anymore, Damn!

sleeping in is always a legit reason to be late!
