I would guess that as the virtual aspects become more "real" and people can feel as if they are in the surroundings they inhabit online, the social aspect of the internet will change drastically. No longer will it be text based, but it will actually be verbal. "Faceboook" will be a bar, a stadium, a park or whatever you want it to be. You will interact with your "friends" as avatars. All of this will change in a very, very big way.

Future generations will look back at the way we are "connected" now and wonder how we were so disconnected.

edit: Eventually, it won't even be verbal. You will interact chemically. -What?
