    I can imagine lots of benefits. Besides the already-stated frictionless vehicles--which would make travel a lot easier--how about medical uses? Imagine if instead of being confined to a hot, sweaty bed when sick, you could recoup in a comfy anti-grav pod? No more uncomfortable beds after surgery, either! Chronic back pain is relieved by sleeping on the Grav-less Mattress. Float your way to better health. Or if you broke a limb--no heavy slings or painful crutches scraping up your underarms, just strap on your anti-grav module and that leg just floats along. The wheelchair-confined would have whole worlds of accessibility opened up to them in their new floatchairs!

    If you could have anti-grav in work situations, then there would be fewer injuries on the job due to lifting havy boxes/equipment/stuff. Push it onto the grav-pad and it floats wherever you need it. Construction is faster and simpler as piles of heavy materials can now be lifted many hundreds of feet without a crane. Anti-grav safety nets could be installed around constructions sites--falling workers and falling debris slow in their descent and float harmlessly ten feet above ground until they can be retreived.

    It's good for around the house, too. Moving furniture is a snap! So is carrying groceries. Got a sleepy baby you need to cart around? In the fabulous HoverPram, your tot will sleep peacefully for hours.

    Then there's entertainment. Roller-coasters are replaced by scarier, more exciting, smoother FloatCoasters. A whole slew of toys that float in mid-air will entertain the kiddies. Need I bring up those groovy Hoverboards from the Back to the Future movies? Forget bungee jumping! Just dive off a cliff and free-fall into the safe anti-gravity zone below, where you'll float happily until your time is up. Fun for the whole family!
