Technology Creates Income Disparities

I tend to disagree on the point that the technology is creating income disparity, can we remember those days when black and white television used to entertain only two or three family of whole town, but now usually have at least one colored television set in each house.

The days when we were waiting to cut down the STD call rates in late night or early morning and used to have conversation with family and relatives, but now even rickshaw puller can afford cell phone to stay connected with family and friends.

There are lot of examples by which we can explain that how the technology reduces the inequality between the peoples having high income and low income.

Aside this if we talk about the earning with the use of technology then I can certainly say that you can earn more money, and have good salary and perks.

While technology is enabling to earn more money and creating job opportunity for technical person at the same time it is availing the facilities to common people by which everyone can enjoy the technology, and providing feel good factor even not having good income.

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.

As per my view I think that technology does not create income disparities. Technology has affected individual in terms of jobs and skills. It has improved and helped society to improve the standards of living, style of living etc. It has made data processing faster, and today we could efficiently share our information to all through network.

We should try to enhance this technology and I guess our Government should take good care about spreading technical knowledge to each and every individual and specially the rural people because nwadays if people are not aware of the technology, then they are definately going to suffer.

If taken care, technology can drastically change the economy of our country. Technology has created new opportunities for the individuals, reduced costs as every1 does not have to wander from here or there for every information, so it has saved a lot of time and has also improved decision making.

So it would be very beneficial for all of us if we take technology in a positive manner.

Hi Guys!

In my view, it is obvious that technology has created income disparities in India. This is because the work which was earlier done manually taking hours of time is now possible to get done even in a few minutes with the use of technology. And 5 men's work is done by a single machine, so employment has been reduced. But those five men earn uniform less amount of income which is earned in summation by a single person operating the machine; just because he has the knowledge to operate it.

We should also not deny the fact that though the machine has reduced the manpower requirement, on the other hand, a large man-power is required to manufacture that machine. So one can say that the employment is balanced, but unfortunately, India imports machines from other countries and therefore India is just focusing on the work to be done by machines and not the work to be done for machines.

This is where India is lacking and hence I personally agree with the statement "Technology Created Income Disparities".

In today's modern era the technology is not merely a need but it is a necessity of life. We are totally dependent on technology and likewise we are also upgraded our self with the latest technologies. Take an example of mobile phones, like earlier we use phones for calling purposes and we don't care what operating system does it had but now with the advancement of technologies we take care of the operating system also and upgrade them too whenever there's upgrade are available.

We can say that technologies help in generating income. For instance when you are working in a Corporate culture knowledge of different technologies are essential for you. Even you are working on a same technologies for years you have to upgrade yourself with the latest versions of the technology, this way when you switch to some other organisation not only they will prefer you over the other guy with limited knowledge of technology but with some little effort you can earn more salary also which can be a bonus for you.

Technology as we know has become a part of our life. We cannot just live on without it. But it is like a coin with same sides but both having a different result.

One side is that, it does create income disparities among the working class. It only creates opportunities for those who are familiar with it. But this itself can sometimes be a danger, that is not all the firms stay at the top of business list for long. Some or the other day they will come down, which will force the employer to minimize the wages or remove some of the workers.

Second, if there wasn't any technology then more number of people would have been at job which is a good point. But the production would not be up to the mark, which might cause workers getting less wages.

So its clear that technology do creates income disparity which might make us think that we don't need any technology, but absence of it is also gives the same result.

Its like a Quadratic equation with two roots but the same answer.

Thank you.

As far as my point of view technology does creates income disparity as modern India because of our education standard is not comprehensive and large population of nation are deprived and unable to understand how to use and get knowledge about technology.

Company or organizations give jobs those who are English proficient and technologically sound, that's why those who have these prerequisite got jobs and earn more, and those like rural ones are underprivileged because they are unskilled.

So there is need of reform in education and participation of government to provide technological education to the entire nation especially ruler areas because technology is a source which is not only developed or increased individual income but also decide the growth of nation and no one country look as developed country until there is equality. So participation of everyone is required that change the way we think about negative side of technology.

Thanks.

Hello friends we are here and discussing on the topic technology create income disparity according to my point of view yes technology create income disparity and now point is this how ? so to answer this question I m taking a simple examples of two country USA and Bhutan.

USA is developed country and most of the new technology used in every field and income of person is also high which is not in Bhutan.

Another example suppose two farmers both have same land area one is using new technology for cultivation but on other hand another farmer uses basic techniques for farming so they is huge difference in both there income now point is that actually technology makes money and money makes technology both this statement are right.

Great scientist of USA said" time makes money " nowadays we are improving technology day by day so we can save the time and in saving time slot which we can use in any other and it also makes money.

In today's world technology has become a integrated part of our life. We cannot imagine our our life without technology. Every one using technology. From a bus conductor to a scientist, from a man from rural area to urban area, every where technology is being used. But everything has a positive as well as some negative. The positives are.

1. It has made our life easier.
2. It has made peoples creative and innovative.
3. It has made our life happier.
4. It has created lot of job opportunities.

Negatives.

1. The latest technologies which are coming out like smart phones, I phones, to handle them we need some sort of intelligence. Some times some middle aged peoples find this hard to acquire these skill. Then technology becomes curse for them.

2. Our technology is developing too fast, and sometime its fast development creates problems like recession in the market, when lot of peoples have to lose their job.
