The significance of Marxism in the age of digital technology is that it provides the possibility for Marxist theory to be further enriched and developed in the new era.

With the rapid development of digital technology, human society is undergoing an unprecedented change. In the context of this new era, Marxist thought still has important guiding significance and practical value.

Marxist thought provides theoretical guidance. Marxism adheres to the people-centered development ideology and emphasizes the rights and interests of workers. In the era of digital technology, the rapid development of artificial intelligence, big data and other technologies has brought new challenges to laborers, such as the possibility of artificial intelligence replacing some jobs. Marxist thought reminds that we should always adhere to the people-centered approach, pay attention to social justice and the rights and interests of workers, and ensure that the development of digital technology is in line with the fundamental interests of the people.

Marxist thought has a critical spirit. The rapid development of digital technology has also brought about a series of problems, such as the flood of information, the leakage of personal privacy, and the spread of false information. Marxist thought emphasizes the criticism and dissection of reality, reminds people to be alert to the possible negative impacts of digital technology, and through the spirit of criticism prompts society to apply digital technology in a more scientific, rational and beneficial way.

Marxist thought focuses on the practice of social change. In the era of digital technology, social relations are facing profound changes, such as the way of information circulation and the transformation of production relations. Marxism emphasizes continuous practice and change, and puts forward the perspectives of historical materialism and class struggle to encourage people to promote social progress and the development of the socialist cause.

In the era of digital technology, continuing to adhere to the practical spirit of Marxism and constantly exploring new social relations and governance is the key to realizing the greater benefits of digital technology applications for the whole society. The rapid development of digital technology has brought many challenges and opportunities to society, which requires a good grasp and application of the theoretical ideas of Marxism.
