Larry Niven's 1973 SF short story Flash Crowd predicted that one
consequence of cheap teleportation would be huge crowds materializing
almost instantly at the sites of interesting news stories. Twenty years
later the term passed into common use on the Internet to describe
exponential spikes in website or server usage when one passes a certain
threshold of popular interest (what this does to the server may also be
called slashdot effect). It has been pointed out that the effect was
anticipated years earlier in Alfred Bester's 1956 The Stars My Destination.
