Let’s crack the question 
The question is simply saying that “ wither digital technology could be considered as a dependable source of input for rational decision making or in simple words can we take inputs from the technology for making our opinions”. Also it's clearing its station by saying that it's a debatable issue, and further asks you to do the critical evaluation of the same.
