I wonder what it would be like in the future? Would it be like this where we receive food via some sort of food transporters using teleporting technology? Would people stop having kids and instead have robot as their 'kids' (slight reference to the movie A.I) What happens when corruption happens in the teleporting connection? Would we get half of a livestock?

All very interesting to think about! :D

For downloading real-life objects:

1. Print everything out via special material in 3D, which is in development
2. Energy-to-mass converters, and CERN's particle accelerators don't exactly produce stable matter, but already have a high probability of creating subatomic blackholes (although "harmless").
3. Teleportation: a method was proposed by NASA, and it combined compressing the space in front of the craft, expanding the space behind it, and using a time-space bubble to prevent it from colliding with innumerable amounts of matter at super high speeds (effectively faster than the speed of light, but the space is compressed, so it still is consistent with the theory of relativity)
4. Mail tubes. These are already implemented to deliver small physical mail in some corporate structures and for sorting mail.
5. Virtualize everything.

But, honestly, why DOWNLOAD coke when you can eat something healthier, and use some mechanism that connects to the brain or tongue and makes it taste like coke? Direct neural interfaces, as it develops for handicapped persons (blind/death - direct input to retinal /cochlea; paralyzed - direct output to robot machinery or computer equipment), may become a form of entertainment (virtual reality).
