We are hooking up von Neumann machines in different ways. The problem is quality of information. I think we are near the point where more powerful von Neumann machines will not do the average person much good. The problem is can they evaluate the quality of information. We can produce more BS and distribute it faster.
Listening to Liberal Arts majors talking about technology is somewhat irritating.

"[This talk] is a no-holds-barred, kick-ass talk about the systems, blindspots and biases that keep us from understanding where tech has been and where it's going. John's the Professor of the Public Understanding of Technology at the Open University, and he's the author of the excellent From Gutenberg to Zuckerberg, What You Really Need to Know About the Internet." ~ Cory Doctorow
Thank you Cory [@Boing Boing] for directing my attention to this important and interesting talk!
