    How much does it affect your life?
I would suggest that the ability to quickly travel far distances, affects our lives in ways outside of personal travel much more so. For example, shipping a package, receiving goods from other parts of the country and world are all things that were very difficult to do in the not-too-distant past. -These are every day conveniences. These conveniences allow goods and services to be more efficient and cost-effective. The car I am parked in right now is full of products and is itself made of components that likely came from all over the world.
