Textnevitably, these changes are bringing about a new kind of society, in which people have advanced abilities to manipulate both the physical world and worlds of illusion. Everything from the physical environment, and from the world of images or simulations, becomes raw material, that we can appropriate and re-create in our own image.We end up living inside an artificial environment that caters to our desires, in which we constantly manipulate technology in ways that expand our freedom and power, and allow us to transcend many of the limits of existence. The computer scientist, manipulating images to create virtual worlds, and the physical scientist, learning how to manipulate the elements of this world, become archetypal figures of the age

I believe the use of computers and technology is dumbing us down.. for example it is no longer required to memorize information.. we just google it, we dont even need how to remember correct spellings.. we just roughly type the word in and it will give us the correct spelling... we dont need to remember anyones phone number anymore.. we just look for their name in our phone and press the green button..
i could go on but im sure you get my drift... so in a way i can agree with what you say although it is in a slightly different direction..
computer's do control us now, we are at a point where we rely on them... i feel sorry for the new generation that will know no different other than what we have now..
Even real social interaction is on the decline with people facebooking each other in the next room.. we are losing the very basics of what it means to be human..
