There are now three standard ways to send a document electronically: reasonably true copies by fax or scan and e-mail, or originals by telly. Some rich people and nicer places have a rideable telly for home or work, and although the tech is not mature enough for it to be standardized in all public places it does make some commutes and holidays very convenient. The government recently released a warning that excessive telly riding can cause early spine and joint deterioration through minute alignment problems (it's very hard to sit perfectly still during the entire scan), but more importantly mood swings and memory loss with too frequent use - apparently the sudden break in continuity of consciousness leads to an as yet unexplained "catch-up" lag after the telly drops you off at your destination. The government's scientists working with the telly companies say that riding the telly no more than three times a week is "perfectly safe". (Users average about seventeen.)

I know this

If life is illusion, then I am no less an illusion, and being thus, the illusion is real to me. I live, I burn with life, I love, I slay, and am content.
