If you had the power to travel digitally, would you?

Post by Heidi M Simone »

Alex learns that all he has to do is to search a location on a computer, unplug the computer he's using, and now presto! he travels to that location.

If you found out you had this power, would you use it? What would you do with this new ability? Where would you go?

Oh absolutely!!! I would go see the whole world, first I'd go to the arctic circle, my partner lived and worked there for 2 years, the photos I've seen of the Northern Lights there, are absolutely breath taking!!! Give me that ability and this place will never see me again ?

Absolutely! I don't know that I would take any money, I would probably just see the world. The first place I think I would go would be Hawaii. Then France as I took French in high school.

Post by jemgirl202 »

I would most definitely take advantage of that!

I would go anywhere I wanted. But mainly I would use it for research. I am planning on going back to school for my Masters in history, specifically European history. I could not tell you how wonderful it would be to be researching something then being about to just travel there. I am also dreaming about writing a book one day. It would make it easier to research for my future novel as well.

It would definitely be interesting!

That's a good point. I forgot about all the information he gleaned. It wasn't just about the places he went. I would definitely learn some new languages and do all kinds of research!

I would definitely use that power to travel around the world. I think that my first stop would be Northern California to see the beautiful redwood trees and then on to Hawaii. I would also visit countries in Europe like France, England especially their castles and Germany.

If I had the power, I would also use it to explore the world. I probably wouldn't use it for the same purposes as Alex though. I'm not brave enough for that.

I haven't visited my home land in over a decade so I would definitely go back to the Dominican Republic if I could travel through the internet.

I would want to see all the places no one knows about and all the places no one wants to go to. I would love to go behind enemy lines and rescue the hurting and perishing. To help solve cold cases and find the missing children. With all that power in traveling at the speed of light and data and having such knowledge at your disposal so much could be done for so many.

I will, and I will choose to go to programs which have something to do with hacking. I will also navigate viruses and learn how to program them to self-destruct.

I've always wanted to go to Finland, but I'd also love to learn the language, so perhaps I'd stop off at a site that could teach it to me :lol:
