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.

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.

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.

Technology will create a job but the problem is that it is only in the urban area. In rular area there is a less chances of getting a job because of the lackng of technology and the people who are living in rular area they might be lacking of technology. So I think more technology will create more income disparities,

Yes technology does creates income disparities since technology has not been distributed uniformly throughout the country. Some urban areas are far ahead in technology as compared to some rural areas. Thus more technology, more employment, more income and vice versa.

Technology have also replaced traditional, time consuming way of doing things with improved less time consuming techniques. It plays important role in developing our economy. So I think in order to survive in this world we need to overlook these disparities.

In my opinion, Yes technology creates economic inequalities between the various strata in our society. Not only does it create economic inequalities but also social ones. A very good example to support my saying is that People who have been employed in very good jobs and those who are getting high perks are given more respect and are looked upon with high esteem in our society. But technology, even thought it has these disadvantages, has a lot more turned out to be a boon to our mankind. As one of our friends has rightly quoted that "Time is Money. ", ya technology saves a lot of time in our everyday life. In this modern era we cannot even dare to imagine a day without these technical gadgets. So in order to support such a good cause the companies are forced to opt those who are technically more advanced. But this issue should not also be overlooked. So instead I say that it is the task of our Government to reach the ignorant and uneducated people in especially the rural areas and uplift their educational standards.

According to me, technology does create income disparities. better technology leads to more efficient production and also reduces the dependency on manpower which in both ways is favorable to an organization and leads to more profits. as a result, they are also growing rich day by day.

Technology doesnt create income disparities. Technology mainly helps in getting the things done in an effective manner and efficient manner. It creates lot of employment. There are other factors which creates income disparities ineffective utilisation of income, corruption. Some feel that Technology created income disparities because it has grown along with the other factors which I mentioned earlier.

Technology leads to innovation and creates more employement by increasing the utilization of resources. It directly creates employement to some, where as indirectly creates employement for some others. Technology raises income levels of individuals not the disparities.
