You may be disillusioned with technology, but to me, it seems that what disillusioned you was capitalism.
The problems you described are not technological, they're political. The Vulture Capitalists can be dishonest because they don't pay for their lies. The soulless corporations waste their time with political squabbles and poorly managed project because they capture enough profit to afford such inefficiencies. Burnout is not a problem because we still have a lot of younger and hopeful people to replace the burnt out ashes.
I personally see only two solutions: get out of the system, or change the system. Perhaps both. Note that the second one requires collective action.
