  I must say NAK to this, technolgy never 'controls' the world.  It does give
us bounds and directions, and maybe we can even whip up some AI (sgag) to
do some 'controling' it we are real lucky.
  I might restate your synopsis are "Liveing in a world where the technolgy
has gone from simple and slow (Fords & NY Times) to *fast* and direct
(Straight into the Brain & Info to the point, never another Syntax Error!)."
  Cyber=Information Age, Punk=Face up to the Black Phycial Reality and DO IT!
