I saw your thread on microcosm of internet/humanity, but won't let me reply. Good concept. My answer about what's next is: division and then war. Power struggles (ISPs, Google, Facebook, Government) will create a divide and people will be forced to choose sides. Then no matter what, they will feel they have to defend their side even if they don't fully agree. You can already see signs of this happening.
