Can technology plan economies and destroy democracy?

This article talks about the future but technology is destroying democracy now. Technology is expanding the rift between the haves and have nots by reducing the number of people needed for a job. We sell technology as a way to save money by reducing jobs not necessarily as a way to expand uses within a company. People without jobs tend to revolt and select an authoritarian government. Additionally, technology has made it possible to monitor anyone and everyone which makes it easier for the few to control the many.
