Technology plays a key role in enhancing the power and reach of most presidents. For instance, Telegram has promoted communication between most state presidents and military officers. Such conversations happen in real-time thereby creating a greater control over a leader’s subjects. The instantaneous communication further guarantees prompt feedback from the public in enhancing a politician’s ability to command the larger community. Telephone technology, on the other hand, has promoted the adoption of surveillance techniques in increasing the leaders’ access to their subjects. These top officials, therefore, manipulate the public to support their interests. The citizens use the telephone platform to easily reach influential individuals. Television and Internet use have encouraged the mass media influence thereby increasing the publicity and access to prominent leaders. These technologies have created a greater influence on society to follow top officials. The Internet leads are, therefore, a source of fame and power for politicians.
In certain circumstances, the use of technology may appear appropriate or ineffective in fostering the leadership of a nation. For instance, when the Internet and social media usage enhance communication between prominent persons and their followers, then such digital transformations are appropriately encouraging better representation. On the contrary, when the use of the Internet is targeted at restricting the public’s appointments with key politicians then such activities imply an inappropriate use of technology in any leadership environment. Major social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter have also been misused for publicizing scandals that demean influential individuals. Such information is commonly used to limit the success of leaders. Adopting technology in the leadership of a nation, therefore, needs to consider the appropriate use of innovative techniques to encourage beneficial administration.
