I'm not certain why this is necessarily going to be a golden age. Eventually, the top will not be able to control who gets what information. Eventually, just about anyone will have the technology and information available to them to do something utterly destructive to life (Either intentionally or by grave error.). I think humanity will soon become another example of why we don't see aliens visiting us everyday. I firmly believe that any intelligent species will destroy itself before they are able to start dispersing themselves throughout the galaxy.

Millenials have used the explosion of information to post 500 pics of themselves on Facebook and send 500 retarded texts to each other daily. These are self-absorbed zombies that seem unaware of history pre-Internet.
Their grandparents, the "Great Generation", lived through WW II, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, nuclear war. The millenials have learned none of these lessons (they equate Ben Bernanke with Hitler and concoct absurd 9/11 conspiracy theories). And so these preening ponces will be forced to confront evil far worse as the 21st century unfolds when the dirty bombs and mutant viruses come for them.
unfolds.
The Western Millenials are a small percentage of the world's youth. The developing world "Millenials" are much more realistic and productive. The latest crop of youth in the developing world will be more spoiled, but that is another generation away in the future when I am dead.
