The article which would be sought to be elucidated is the one published by the Pew Research Center, named, “Concerns about democracy in the digital age”, by Janna Anderson and Lee Rainie. The given article traces the linkage between the usage of technology by the people and the its consequent impact upon the “core aspects of democracy and democratic representation” (Anderson & Rainie, 2020). It highlights the bane of technology as it affirms that it results in the empowerment of the powerful. This dismal picture is well painted in apprehensions expressed by technology developers and administrators who have affirmed “that by 2030, as much of 75% of the world’s population will be enslaved by artificial intelligence-based surveillance systems developed in China and exported around the world” (Anderson & Rainie, 2020).
