I've been thinking a bit about this all, as well; I think we're very near the brink of becoming an online-centric culture, and in many cases already there. The last leap is convincing the "average user" to take the same plunge that the "power users" have already taken, and become more comfortable with, and trusting in, the idea of secure web applications and development. The biggest hurdle, I think, is in handling issues of personal security and counter-hacking measures. People are still (rightly) paranoid about the web in a lot of ways; only once that fear is assuaged will we, I think, see this truly start to boom in the directions you suggest. I wonder what kind of integrated security features will be present in the Chrome OS? Very nicely written.
