Teleportation

I've started reading a book on teleportation. I'm not terribly far in the book yet, but it has proved quite interesting as well as giving me some food for thought. Right now we have near instantaneous communication, now imagine if that was true for travel as well. An interesting result would be a new view of where we live. Right now we generally try to live close to where we work. If you could instantly travel to New York every day then living even remotely near New York wouldn't be necessary if you worked there. This also leads to an interesting issue of entertainment as well. Imagine being able to go to a concert in Tokyo when you live in Tacoma, what I for see is quiet a bit of over crowding. In many ways it would end up like many limited time offers online, those willing to start shopping online at 12:00:01 AM would have the greatest gains. Of course I imagine this would let down after a while, I still see it as an interesting effect. In general what I am thinking about though is how we consider that society is operating at breakneck speed already, and when we take current transport out of the equation what that would do to the speed of society.
