Technology is something which has increased the living standards of people and made us know the tits of bits of the world. People have started to use different technologies which has also changed the mindsets and has increased the purchasing power. Different objects like gadgets, automobiles and softwares come up with innovative technologies which has revolutionised the human life at the same time also has created difference and disparities among people. Especially in our country where there are so many people who do not have proper educational background and living standards are not able to use these technologies and remain in the oppressed and suffering side. When people are riding automobiles like Mercedes there are people who do not have money to put oil in their luna. For sure technology is bringing in inflation in various things which is affecting the needy ones and thus bring in income disparities.

Ya I also agree that technology have more advantages than its disadvantages. Technology Become Important thing in our daily life & almost technology saves lot of time so that time can use for other work in our daily life. Because of technology the human gets stress free & also people becomes lazy.

Technologies does create income disparities. Benjamin franklin said "time is money", and technology saves a lot of time in our daily lives. We should take real life examples here, today we don't have to walk or travel miles to convey our messages we just call or Text from our mobile phones. We get immediate information about the stock market on the mobiles or Televisions, these means makes our life easy and fast so that we can earn more in lessen time.

Yes I do agree that tehnology create income disparities. We can see these days all the companies are using technlogy oriented techniqes in running their business. And the one who don't use technology remain behind. A simple example is our farmers who don't know about latest tools and techniques and still use conservative methods of irrigation and they always paid less and work almost double than those countries who use technology oriented techniqes.

Ya me agree this point. Technology give a lot of advantages in our day to day life. But its also based on the way of using. For example internet it compress the world with in our hand we learn a lot and share a lot of our knowledge and opinion but its also an way to make bad things. Anyway technology give us 80% advantages and 20% disadvantages. Its all in sense of our use.

I do agree that technology creates disparities.this disparity is mainly between the one who is provided to benefit from the technology and the one who lacks access or is not capable of using it.as stated earlier income offered in the urban sector is high as compared to that in the rural sector and the sole reason behind it is technology.

Many of us are loosing the track and drifting from the topic. We are not talking about the pros and cons of technology.
According to me, technology does create disparities in income. Simple explanation to it. A person who knows how to handle and benefit from the developed equipments, machines, etc is considered as a skilled resource. he also gets paid more as compared to a person who doesnt know what technology means and doesnt know his way about it.
Maybe the theoretical knowledge both of them have is almost the same..but technology is the deciding factor when it comes to fixing their incomes.

In my opnion, technology result in income disparities, for we take en ex we can travel from one state to another, and reach with 2or 3 hrs, but when we travel by other transport. It takes 1 or 2 day (railway) but main diff betwent of money amougeen them is money. When we travel from aeroplane like jet airways it takes 4 times money. This alswo shows that technology result in faster.
