I think the main problem with humans and the information age is natural selection favors the control side. Couple that with the fact that the speed of the information age development outpaces evolution on a massive scale meaning we are victims vs. masters of our own creation. The human brain can't evolve fast enough to manage the speed and volume of information forced upon us today.
We are, as they say, domed.

Yup. The few that have gotten ahead of the curve on this are now in the driver's seat. The rest of us are along for the ride.
