"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Teleportation would be cool too.

Teleporters.  I've always wanted to pull the prank of phoming one of my mates, tell them I'm coming over, and then teleport them a pair of smouldering boots.
In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this. - Terry Pratchett.

Evilbeagle

Either teleporters or replicators. (I mean the Star Trek food machine NOT the SG-1 robot insects)

Also the South Park Crank Prank Time phone would be a classic!
