Instructional Technologies seem to provide means for realisation of democracy. However, the factors of commodification of culture and corporatisation of technology itself are an anethema to this realisation.
The measure of the success of the utility of culture and technology is largely correlated to individuals being able to buy these means. It also depends upon the factor of the Internet - which is largely a corporate entity in which individual groups struggle to create a commons. Unless the Government accords the Internet some specific status such as a Public Forum through its judicial process, the Internet remains to a great degree a huge private enterprise.
The question of democracy vis a vis Instructional technologies is tenuous.
