I like the idea of making the cost of transportation negligable. We'd waste less oil than we currently do. Crime would be much simpler, too.

  I imagine it would! You could rob a house and escape to the other side of the world right away. It would also be a great equalizer, as there would instantly be no borders. Countries would break down and lead to a single language before long. There would also probably be no sense of community, at least not based on where you live.

    The Hyperion cantos has an exploration of a similar concept, if you are into sf. Although I can only truly recommend the first book, and to a lesser extent, the second.

      Ah, it will probably interest me, thanks. I'll try the first book.
