You should take a look at Benjamin, Horkheimer and Adorno and the other members of the School of Frankfurt. They did a lot of thinking in the 40s-50s around mass media, the advances of technology and the regressions of our societies because of it.
I don’t recall the exact book but one of them advanced a theory that basically said what you’re suggesting. That technology now advances faster than humans’ ability to spiritually receive, understand and integrate it. So instead of mastering it, we’re being enslaved by it.
Thanks for the suggestion I may look into it. Though I personally think one of the main problems is near instant and universal information transfer, bit it does probably have a good bit of overlap.
