Good point. There are always situations where the writer has to be onsite.
A good video camera or digital camera can reduce the onsite time, but not
eliminate it. ...unless of course, they could stuff the system into the
transporter and send it to the home office....Hmmmmmmmm.

I would expect, for example, a writer who is generating the
procedures for installing and maintaining physical systems
to be available onsite to verify and test them. Not everyone
who writes is working with something that can be transferred
by FTP and loaded on a home PC.
However, I too am looking forward to the transporter...
