Many serial killers can tell you that people are incredibly predictable, they do the same things at the same time everyday, and if they do something different you already know what it is there going to be doing.
I think people are like nodes in a world wide web, communications have been hacked as we can communicate threw mail phones and other devices. all in all people are like "the sims" and can be fully controlled as well by certain means. Even what they think can be controlled.
