DESCRIPTION:Thanks for joining our event Technocracy: Examining Tech’s Role
  in the Polarization of US Politics. Technology has played an outsized role
  in the past few elections cycles\, and that is unlikely to change. Faceboo
 k has been a major focus of the attention\, having potentially given Democr
 ats the upper-hand in 2012 by increasing millennial turnout\, and given the
  more recent news of its dissemination of ads from fake accounts during the
  2016 election. While many have seen technology as a means of further democ
 ratizing our institutions\, many are now wondering if it has instead led to
  an increase in polarization and a lack of compromise in our political syst
 em. We took an in-depth look at this issue for our last event of the semest
 er\, in partnership with the USC Viterbi School of Engineering.\n\n\nFeatur
 ed: \n-Ravi Iyer\, Executive Director of Civil Politics\, a non-profit that
  uses technology to bridge the divide between practitioners and researchers
