APNIC reminds us that "there are now a large number of ISPs, data centres, cloud services, and software that now support IPv6" and "enabling IPv6 can be as simple as clicking a button on your WiFi router."
I turned it on, with Comcast I received an IPv6 route but no DNS server. Fortunately, Google Public DNS has unmemorable addresses, which I was able to configure manually.
2001:4860:4860::8888
2001:4860:4860::8844
It works. "There's only one thing left for you to do: Turn it on!"

ipv6 address space is so vast that assignments can last forever so names can be mapped through the local hosts file. Faster, automatic block of malware sites, automatic opt-in of third party ads, and less internet traffic. It's a win for everyone except the spammers.
