What is the future of democracy?

It seems to me that the future of democracy has only been uncertain immediately following the World War 2. After the cold war, democracy emerged as the leading political regime, especially with the success that the newly emerging democracies were having. Years later, today, democracies are still uncontested by any other regimes. Of course there's the communist China, where the economy is growing, but the quality of life is still lagging behind. Overall, the leaders in the world system today are mainly democracies. As far as the future is concerned, the world will keep on democratizing. The current non-democracies will become more democratic. This is inevitable because people in the world today are much more aware of what is going on in the world. The advancing technology is now harder than ever for the governments to control, and people are able to see how others live and compare it to their own lives. The countries that are already democratic, such as the US, will only grow more prosperous, something that Marx would argue with, but I can't imagine that the regime itself will change much. Freedom and choice are no longer the main concern, it seems. Democracies around the world today can be characterized by profit making and I feel that the existing democracies will only adapt to fit more efficient profit making models. This is not necessarily bad. This is just assuming that that the modern day democracies are not likely to get any more “democratic”.
