What is technology?
Technology is the knowledge of using tools machines and other accessories. It
includes methods of problem solving and organization so that we can do a work
in a more effective way in less time. At present we can’t
live without technology or in better words we have become addicted to
technology. With internet computers, mobile phones, luxury cars each and
every field is now being depending on the technology for their success. The
advantages and benefits that technology provides us are unlimited. In fact we
will never be able to imagine a life with all these luxury and technical help
we have on our finger tips.
Now
let us come to the topic
How does technology create income disparities? Or does
technology Creates Income Disparities? One thing that comes to my mind is technology benefits only the
person who knows how to use it. Take the case of the mobile phone if you are familiar
with the facilities that mobile phone provides you will be well ahead
of a normal individual.
So in this case technology will create income disparities between an illiterate
person and a high technically oriented person.
Let us take the case of two countries USA and Somalia.
It is a common fact that USA is highly developed while Somalia is perhaps the
worst developed country. Allow me to ask you why USA has reached this position
of being the most developed country only because of their technological
superiority. Technology saves time and increase the production. And indirectly
this creates income disparities.
But is technology to be blamed for this? No, this
disparity comes primarily from the fact that education is not reaching the
lower class society. Of course technology helps
on the person who is used to it but instead of blaming technology it is time to focus on
reaching the educational facilities to the lower strata of society.
Every country should have a technical education plan so
that technical education can be imbibed to every individual of the
country. If they can work out the plan there would not been income disparities
and technology would not be blamed for creating income disparities.
Do you think technology create income disparities?
