Interesting post. My rule of thumb is that once a technology exists, humanity will use it to the hilt.... consequences come what may. The obvious exception is the atom bomb but I do think that really is 'the exception that proves the rule' (whatever the hell that means). The consequences of atom bomb overuse are just so immediately obvious whereas, with all other technologies, the downsides take a good while to become apparent.
