One day authentication of new users will be impossible and the only way to get on will be to purchase it from someone who already has it. Entire companies will run on a single account hey bought for millions of dollars. News stories will run of a vengeful or negligent employees bricking the one corporate account, until a cartel of business owners attempts to corner the market.
