Think on This Tueday: Teleport or Fly?

Sunday mornings are usually really slow at work, which is often nice because it allows my co-workers and me to come up with the "Question of the Day". It's ranged from do you believe in aliens? to What would you do with $100million Dollars? This last Sunday, however, brought about something more debatable and interesting:

Would you rather have the Power of Flight or The Power of Teleportation?

Eventually we broke it down results into two broad categories of people who answered- the analytical and the romantic.

I fell under the romantic people because I want the power of flight. Flat-out, I want to be able to see things that teleportation wouldn't be able to offer, like majestic mountains while flying around Asia or aid the Whale Wars people track down the 'evil Japanese whalers' *. Plus, just imagine flying around- it's freaking awesome. People could opt for wings or not, but ultimately, they could fly.

The analytical people chose teleportation because it's more efficient. Surprisingly, they discussed mostly the ways to stay lazy yet still be mondo effective because of the instantaneous travel. Hardly anyone mentioned the criminal side of teleportation-just ways to be lazy, yet accomplished.

Here are the guidelines:

Flight

• Max out flight speed at 300mph
• you can have wings or not- your choice
• You can fly in any weather (it's like driving-it's all just your choice)
• NO other super powers, just flight i.e. you are not invincible

Teleportation

the rules were based loosely off of Jumper because they made sense

• You need to have been somewhere before you could teleport to that place.
• You retain teleport capability through your life, but if you do it too much too quick, you wear-out
• You COULD take objects/people with you
• NO superpowers outside of teleportation

Alright- So what do YOU think? What would you choose and why?
