But is losing control really that bad? Often we don't want control as much as we want to do more stuff. We don't have control about our food, but we are as fat as never before. We don't have control over what happens with our taxes, but still live for most people in the western world is stable, there are roads, public transport, doctors. I don't think people really want to keep control over their computers.

We want things that enable us to do more. Food designed by experts and good taxation financing a stable public service system empowers us to do more. So does control over tools we use. Also keep in mind that the reason we're talking about losign control is because greedy corporations are greedy. It's not a good reason to give up anything.
You have the choice to eat some read meal in a packet full of chemical preservatives and flavourings, or you have the choice to buy fresh ingredients and cook your own. I wish I had more control over where my taxes went. I would far rather they were helping the poor rather than bailing out banks.
