“Over the matternet, so the vision goes, hospitals could send⟳ urgent medicines to remote clinics more quickly than they could via roads, and blood samples could be sent and returned within hours. A farmer could place⟳ an order⟳ for a new tractor part by text message and pay⟳ for it via mobile money-transfer. A supplier many miles away would then take⟳ the part to the local matternet station for airborne dispatch via drone.”
