What would happen if teleporting were invented and were cheap and affordable? Let's assume for the sake of the discussion that there were a teleporting device, easily affordable to any people living in a industrial country, and that it would be able to teleport people anywhere in the world, or at least anywhere that is not locked.
What would happen, apart from people locking their windows? Would it be possible to control any borders anywhere? If not, who would go and where? What would happen to terrorism and war against it? What would happen to tourism, to hotels? Would anyone pay for a hotel room in Paris if it were possible to teleport from Helsinki to Paris in the morning and go back home to bed at night? Would I? What would happen to plane, train and automobile industries? (Nothing good, I am sure.) What would happen to oil industry?
