A computer has a zero IQ. its just a tool for us to use. However it does feel like technology controls our lives for sure. Some people get so fed up the "go off the grid" and go live in the wilderness for a while.
 
I'd say we control them and they have also been one of the best things to happen to humans in history, however, like all good things, there is a dark side. Computers certainly have their fair share of addicting and mind-numbing tasks that users can do that certainly make it feel like the computer is in control.
 
Speaking of this, a co-worker of mine recently got dinged in an evaluation for not checking their work email enough. Lol
