So you think I'll still get to enjoy sex after losing the human body I live in? Interesting.
You've made a lot of promises by now. I'm afraid you'll not be able to deliver on every one of them.

Official Google Blog: World IPv6 Launch: Keeping the Internet growing
"The Internet we've relied on so far has space for 2^32 addresses—about 4.3 billion. The new, larger IPv6 expands the limit to 2^128 addresses—more than 340 trillion, trillion, trillion! Enough for essentially unlimited growth for the foreseeable future. Without the rollout of Internet Protocol v6 (IPv6), which formally begins today for participating websites and other organizations on the web, we won’t have the room we need to grow."

actually, what I'm hearing is that every network card is going to have an embeded ipv6 address, kinda like the mac.
get your tin foil hats boys. You might actually need them.
Idea is to never need to do a migration like it again I guess.
I can imagine a world where almost everything we own communicates with the internet in some way, shape or form though.
Obviously as a proxy provider this is something I'm looking into. I've actually been thinking about it a while. I'm not entirely sure how IPv6 maps addresses, but from what I gather this is not going to result in unlimited proxies. While you can get a lot more "individual" IPv6 addresses, it will be just as easy to identify close IP addresses as it is now (as in, ones within the same range).
That said, I really don't know what I'm talking about when it comes to IPv6. I am probably going to be running some tests to see what kind of action I can get with IPv6 proxies. If you're interested in this, PM me.
EDIT: Forgot to mention... this could also be a *bad* thing. With IPv4, there are more connected devices than there are IP addresses. So some (4 billion) devices share IP addresses. Thus, websites are hesitant to ban single IP addresses because they could actually belong to multiple users. But with IPv6, there are so many available addresses that every device can have its own. So you can be much surer that every request from one IP address is coming from the same place.
