Along the history of the technological development in the United States, a belief has been identified about the relationship between the advance of technology and a type of political ideal, namely, the conviction that new technical devices will revitalize democratic society, increasing civic participation and its quality, by endowing citizens with new and more extended political and economic resources that qualify them for self-government. Nowadays, this historical belief is applied to the domain of computers and the telematic networks, such as Internet. However, it is necessary to wonder whether the simple increase of technical resources among the population has a real counterpart in relation to the democratic participation in political matters or it is only an extended idealistic belief without verified foundation.
