I think it will inevitably mean a greater world-wide harmonisation in living 
and working standards.  As the cost providing goods or services becomes the 
same wherever they are sourced, so there will be no economic reason for one 
part of the world to be more prosperous than another.

I think we in the west will suffer for it, but the end result of having 
greater equality and stability world-wide will benefit mankind.
