What if teleportation became the main form of transportation?

Imagine the shift in the world if we perfected teleportation. No cars, trains, or planes – just pop and you're halfway across the globe. Cities wouldn't have to be crowded, cause you could live anywhere and work anywhere else! Pollution would drop drastically, and commuting hours? Non-existent. But then again, think of potential security nightmare – would countries need border controls for individual rooms?? So much to think about here!

Has anyone thought about the philosophical implications? Like whether you're the same person when you come out the other side? What if our consciousness doesn't travel the same way our bodies supposedly do? Teleportation would be awesome but also opens a can of worms about identity and existence itself.

Let's be real, any major advancement has its pros and cons. Sure, commuting is funkilling and pollution sucks, but then there's the question of who controls the teleports? Big corps? Governments? Also, you drop the concept of private space—I'm not keen on anyone just popping into my lounge!

woah this feels like some Cyberpunk 2077 level stuff!! I always thought flying cars would be our future, but teleporting? I'm so down. Imagine the modifications and personalization on your personal teleporter. It'd be like your phone today lol

Think about the impact on the economy. The transportation industry employs millions of people. What happens to their jobs? Also, if people can live anywhere, wouldn't some places just become completely deserted? It's a neat idea but there are so many economic ripple effects...

There's no way this can be safe. What about the integrity of the thing or person being teleported? Remember 'The Fly' movie? Nuh-uh, I'll keep my feet on solid ground, thanks.

Just think about the reduction in CO2 emissions! Almost no need for cars, buses or planes, right? This could be the breakthrough we need for the climate change crisis. But then again...the energy needed for teleportation has to come from somewhere, doesn't it? Wonder what the environmental impact of THAT would be.

You betcha there's gonna be a security nightmare. It's all good envisioning having breakfast in one country and dinner in another but think about immigration laws, smuggling, and what not? Every room will need some TSA-level checkpoint or something.

Dude this is literally gonna change the game if it happens! Imagine all the time saved. You could have lunch in Paris and be back in Tokyo for a meeting in the same hour! Crazy to think about.
