Yes, big changes, but I would not like those changes for if everyone did what you do, then there would be huge number of unemployed people, as most industries will die, and in fact you should be growing and/or producing your own stuff or bartering with your very close neighbors, for any kind of transport would need some kind of exploitation. We used to live like that some millennia ago, and I do not think it is my cup of tea, but go ahead, exterminate civilization if it makes you happy.
