Yeah, I don't see it being used to move living things in this century, perhaps in the next two but there will be a lot of transporterphobia, yet another thing that Star Trek predicted.
But the delivery of parcels and such, that's do-able. Also quite possibly, if one can turn light into matter, then resource production just got a whole lot easier depending on the amount of energy needed to create things, however things like Star treks replicators might be possible and that is going to
really upset the status quo if and when they are ever able to be purchased by mere mortals.
