It's depressing because it needs to evolve and fix its problems. IT is unregulated, security flaws and bad practice will one day generate so much loss the government might try to impose more quality standards and practice regarding to the law and insurances.
I get your frustration, but if there are problems, you should try to craft new solutions instead of complaining.
I think IT sucks in general because there's a big lack of proper skill in programming skills, available tools, law and how businesses stimulate and reward innovation.
History showed humans overcame many technological challenges, but I think there's always more to do, but it just gets harder and trickier. I think ancient mathematicians and scientist were as frustrated, yet we know now about DNA, we have programming languages, lasers and GPS. In short there will be awesome, crazy solutions in the future one day, but they're so awesome that you don't know about it yet: science fiction and futurology are jokes compared to what real inventions and discoveries end up to be.
