Just like today if you ran across someone who did not have a phone (cell or land line) you might be a bit surprised. Or how about E-mail? I know I am a bit surprised when I meet people who have no E-mail accounts.
How soon will it take before people will just assume that you are hiding something if you don't have an overt Internet social network presence?
Could this happen within say 10 years?

I would say it's already happening. Unless you are of a certain age claims of not having a facebook account is likely to be seen by an employer as trying to hide something.
