We could be a lot better. Assuming "we" is "people from reasonably developed country". We could work 6 hours per day, 4 days a week. We could avoid having problems with drugs, ghettos, extreme poverty - that sort of self-breeding thing. We could live in fairer world, with less government supervision. Right now there are whole classes of businesses for which ripping customers off is okay (cell companies for example). This did not have to be the norm. The price? Some undeveloped countries will probably be left to their own devices. Which is an unstable situation: once you solve infant mortality for them, you get population boom and then political instability. Hunger, I'm afraid - maybe on grand scale. Some things will be more expensive. Right now services are expensive and goods are cheap. It could be reversed a bit.
