This is the first time in history that people can do literary everything from their armchairs.

That’s true! And it’s just in the early beginnings. Imagine when the technology advances to the point where your mind makes any orders, any purchases. Sometimes I wish we were taken 100 years back. It’s just a matter of time when we loose the power and everything we depend on will vanish. Just for a few days.
When it comes to government and corporations some people are saying that our government is being controlled by corporations and that the military and government is doing the bidding a of corporations. I think that while corporations having enormous amount of money allowing them to use it to attempt to leverage influence. They can donate to campaigns, hire lobbyists, and do other things to attempt to do this. To say it has no influence on our government would be naive, but it is also not likely that they have a full power over governments. Perhaps I’m mistaken.
