How about the loss of creativity? I feel that one of the long-term consequences of being constantly watched is that you learn to act in less experimental ways. You take fewer risks, and reduce your actions to what's "safe".

Ask yourself - how easy would it be to do your job if somebody you didn't know or trust was sitting behind you evaluating every decision you made.

In my opinion, the financial and societal implications of a populous that behaves strictly to conform for fear of consequence, translates to slower innovation, less technological advancement, and will have a long term negative economic impact.
