Public transporters and their influence on culture[]
It hasn't (yet) been seen in aired or published Trek (pro or fan-fic) if the ubiquity of transporters has homogenized Earth culture. Larry Niven, in his Known Space series, suggests the inevitability of that homogenization in some of his novels and stories, including Ringworld (1970). - - RTS2011RN (talk) 17:58, July 24, 2012 (UTC)
