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.

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. Technology, as the definition goes, is the making use of the knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, systems or methods of organization to solve a problem effectively and efficiently. Thus the use of technology helps us to acheive greater efficiency in terms of speed, productivity and income.

According to me technology is gives very great advantage to all the people whether its rural area or urban area. In rural areas technology is play a very vital role the electricity and the water supply in high quantity is possible because of technology and they can use this resources according to their need.

Technology is needed for every person or every country by the use of technology the people can change their lifestyle and they can improve their lifestyle which they can afforded. In urban areas the technology gives the people to save their time and energy by the use of technology.

But its gives also disadvantage because in India many people are living in village so they are Illiterate the technology reduce the labour work and increase unemployment in the country.

So the conclusion is that the technology is gives both advantage and disadvantage it is depend the person how they use.

In my opinion technology makes the difference not only in income but also in companies that what technology they are using to lead the world also,thats why most of companies looking for people those who are technically sound...! We need to observe one thing here it is in companies point of view urban people looking better in using technology compare to rural people.Of course that was some what good but to search people those who are capable applying their thoughts effectively makes little bit difference getting their income even though people having same theorytical knowledge.....!Govt also ensure in providing high standard technical education equally to both rural and urban areas.....!

Finally i want to say thing is that we cant imagine our world with technical support at same time companies should give sufficient renumeration in terms of salary also....!

I think technology has both advantages & disadvantages. In one hand, technology helps us to increase the development of our country. It makes many works easier. Now, all of us filled any form online. There is a very small amount of chance to mistake. It is very time- saving. We can complete any work very easily and fast through technology. We can stop corruption and crime by using the help of technology.

In other hand, some dishonest people use technology in a wrong way. They hacked any bank account and collect all rupees. Thus a poor people lost his all savings which he earned by heavy working.

In a side, technology increases the chance of getting a job and earning money. Otherside, we lost our savings by some men.

If all of us, use technology in a good way for a good job, then it is efficient to take a country to top level of the world.

"Technology creates income disparity".i do not agree with its inference.technology is something that contributes in the development of a nation.it provides you with such techniques and machines that help save your time.you cannot hold technology responsible for the increasing disparities in income and wealth in our country. There is a fault in our distribution system which mainly creates this huge gap among the different stratas of our society.
It is actually the application of technology that makes any country advanced and better than the others.And if it is not being applied than one becomes deprived.so,basically it is the access to the technology that helps in the development process.Therefore we should not straightaway blame technology for the inequality....

In My Point Of View Technology Is a very useful source now a days. In Present Situations The whole world Depends On The Technology. We Can Not Imagine Our World With Out Technology. It is very Useful To Develop The Country. By Using This Technology We Are Inventing The Bank Applications, Internet, Weapons, vehicles, Transport etc. By Using This Technology We Can Transfer the Money across the world. Internet is also one of the new Technology. It is very useful in real time life. This are the main advantages by using technology.

Like A coin, Every Thing Has 2 sides.

If There is advantage defiantly there is also an disadvantages.

Disadvantages Of Technology is.

1) By using the internet hack the valuable information.

2) Weapons, Nuclear reactors Are Also Invented By using this technology.

Technology has reached every section of people in our society today. Implementation of a technology needs the support of people-skilled or unskilled. For eg. The mobile technology which came into existence round 20 years back, was used by mostly higher income group people then, is now being used by every person now. Shows a success. Also, people are employed to implement its hardware, different set for softwares, people have opened their accessory shops for the same. Many communication companies started, employing larger section of people under it. Its an overall benefit.

Also, whenever a technology comes into existence it can bring with it new alternatives with reduced prices.

Once a technology seems beneficial every person gets keen to learn it and use it.

I disagree with the statement that technology has created income disparities. Technology has made things easier. The "world has become a small village" means there are no distances between people. Every income and occupation group can afford the technology to stay connected with people. Technology is everywhere from agriculture to banking everything has been controlled through technology. Farmers are also educated to use technology for farming and another purpose. The technology generates income with less investment and gives higher returns. For ex:- the E-commerce sites are earning more than brick and mortar, so people are shifting to e-commerce business for generating income. "Technology is a special gift for humans to make their work easy and efficient".

Yeah as we all know technology creates disparities in income. And we know that time is powerful money.

So if we wanna be powerful so we have to save time then we can be powerful. But sometimes it is not enough to be powerful. Being a good person is also important we are human we have emotions and thinking skills those we can solve problems and search for solutions. So we have to search for a solution that can make a peaceful and lovely world. We will think about how can we mean equality but technology is if we know about this then we can reach our goals but if we do not know about this those people have no work no happiness no life so we should think about equality.

That is my thoughts about technology development.

Thank you so much for the opportunity.
