The Institute for the Future has recently issued an interesting report titled “The Hyperconnected World of 2030-2040” which attempts to envision the social, technical, and economic implications of ubiquitous, high-performance wireless networking. For some background on the project and a pointer to the PDF report, see

On August 18, IFTF hosted a sixty-minute webinar conversation about the report; a recording of this is supposed to be available soon on their YouTube channel.
