1 person= 1 ssn but can have multiple computer connections. I'm guessing this is about some kind of NAT and RFID chips or something. Seeming kinda scary to and cyborg-ish
LOL MAC spoofing only works on the local network, the MAC address is lost as soon as it goes through a single gateway.
You might want to look out for how things will change as the world migrates to IPv6.
It will, if it is ever really implemented, since each device could have a unique IP. Not sure what that has to do with todays use of MAC addresses. Its like telling me cars are insignificant since everyone will eventually have a personal aircraft.
1. IPv6 support has been implemented all over the place. Every computer in my home (and there are quite a few) is running an OS capable of supporting IPv6.
2. If you mean deployed on the Internet -- it is deployed on the Internet, though at the moment it is parallel with IPv4 in the cases where it has been deployed because ISPs don't want to lock out customers who are still only using IPv4.
3. If you mean widely deployed on the Internet, you might be interested to know that World IPv6 Day is one week away Not sure what that has to do with todays use of MAC addresses. Its like telling me cars are insignificant since everyone will eventually have a personal aircraft.
. . . except that everyone having his or her own personal aircraft has been perpetually thirty years away for most of a century, while worldwide IPv6 access is maybe a couple years away at this point -- and, for a testing period at least, is only one week away.

The reason they have IPV6 day is to try and get people to actually use it. they have valid concerns that it is being way too slow to be implemented and may never happen on the scale imagined. They were very disapointed that a year later after the last IPV6 day that there is still less then 5% implementation In other words almost no change from the year before..
What are your sources for the claim that "they" don't expect anyone to use IPv6 -- and who the hell are "they"?
Despite all of the network industry momentum around World IPv6 Day, the protocol is not taking off on the Internet anywhere near as fast as proponents had hoped. A recent survey of Internet traffic compiled by Arbor Networks found that IPv6 represented less than 0.2% of all Internet traffic. Indeed, Arbor said IPv6 traffic -- both tunneled and native -- had declined 12% in the last six months, even as momentum for World IPv6 Day was building. Arbor gathered this data by surveying six carriers in North America and Europe.

Its even worse then I had stated according to Arbor Networks

... and the ones that deserve most - if not all - of our hatred are the cyber criminals. If one thinks about it, no one would ever get prosecuted based on an IP address if the internet wasn't used for nefarious purposes to begin with.
Copyright infringement, in particular, is probably the most frequently prosecuted using IP addresses and as far as I can see, the only ones doing something about it are the people that own intellectual property. As for everyone else, it seems that anyone that doesn't engage in copyright infringement is either ignoring it or cheering them on. Then they wonder why they are being burdened with heavier DRM schemes, high prices and less quality. I would like to propose that people make a stand against cyber criminals, especially those that have been falsely accused of some cyber crime just because a criminal used their IP address.
Edit: It seems that some of the nefarious individuals I mentioned above are trash-rating this comment (most likely because they don't like organised resistance to their activities). I personally think it's quite childish though. Oh, and another thing I forgot to mention previously, I found an article a while ago that gives the issues of copyright infringement and DRM in games a very thorough and neutral analysis. You can find it here (and I recommend that everyone reads it):
