As a cyber-Luddite (SteamPunk avatar in Second Life), I note that you did not mention impacts on virtual reality environments. Given your extrapolations, we should expect to see the alternate realities of True Names, Neuromancer, Snow Crash, and Headcrash, all rolled into one.

And, assuming a greater and greater participation in such virtual worlds, it would be very interesting to explore some of the civil libertarian and information hiding ramifications.
