You can’t transfer information, but you can be guaranteed that the distant photons are complementary to each other. The point being that you can transmit uncollapsed qbits, not just classical data.
The idea of lighter-than-air craft used as heavy lifters – cranes, etc. – was nicely explored in Dean Ing’s science fiction novel “The Big Lifters.” Pretty good book, and very sensible ideas.
It’s rather frustrating that this book was published in 1988 – and big lifters of this sort aren’t in use today. I guess helicopters are good enough.
This is not really a debate.
Off to the forum for specualtion: IMHO.

See, what I think will happen first, is people will have to learn to adapt to the computer rather than the other way around. So in other words, we’ll have to become fluent in “computer speak” if we want to use the hands free tech.
So instead of saying “Google, take me to the nearest grocery.”
You’ll have to know to say “Ok Google, {beep} navigate to the closest grocery.”
The latest smartphones are getting pretty good at it; my Samsung S5 with the Google search app correctly parsed “Take me to the nearest grocery” and popped up google maps with the closest grocery store highlighted, and the next 2 closest ones also shown.
