According my view of thinking the development of technology in these is peak touching. Day by day the technology go on development by this one it save the valuable time of the human being but if everything make easy and everything come in the mouth of the human being it makes that human beings as lazy one's. With out technology some works or not done. The having of technology is good one but people who are using the technology make use it properly and gave it further generation.

So my opinion is the way the man using or developing the technology is in our hands. Every man's future is in hands not in other hand. So before using or developing the technology think once and carry on it. Be perfective any thing.

Good morning everyone. Our topic is whether technology creates income disparities or not?in my point of view technology is not creating any income disparities because in present scenario we can not lead our life without technology. It has been growing day by day on for sake of people. To make our works more efficient they are struggling to improve more technology with less cost.

As our friends said only urban people are aware of technology, and some rural areas are not beneficial with the technology. Its not true because the technologies developed are almost going through every part of societies.

I would like to tell one example that in olden days where technology was not there people in rural areas used rikhshaw and now we can not see a single rikhshaw in our country. That means technology is being used by everyone. Ofcourse only some areas who are illiterate are not aware of technology.

I would like to conclude that its not technology creating income disparities, its literacy of the people. So if we increase standard of education and educate each and every one in our society technology can be efficiently used. It leads to development of the country.

Hello friends, as we are knowing that technology is something that can create new world with having less problems. Now a days in organizations it uses technology to be in a good position. So in my opinion technology didn't create any disparate in a new era of world peace. One of my friend said that its absolutely correct. It is technology used by every one in rural as well as urban side. But the way we are use the technology is in our hands but not others so make use of it in a proper way and then transferred to others.

From my point of view I strictly say that technology is much helpful when used in a right way, &twice harmful when uses in bad way i.e. it is similar to a knife which can be used as a tool to cut fruit for good, used to cut neck on bad behalf. What I want to say is technology can be used to make money easily but the way using should not be harmful to anyone.

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.

Hi Friends, According to me Technology is not creating Income Disparity. Because with help of technology we can do our all work sitting on a sit no need to go anywhere. With help of Laptop or computer and webcam we can talk to our family just like we are sitting in front of them. With help of mobile we can talk our knowns very easily. Before the technology we use telegrams and letters to talk to our relatives but with help of phone we can talk them any time anywhere. But we can't ignore the disadvantage of technology. Peoples become lazy day by day. They sit on a laptop or computer whole day. Physical work are reducing day by day. Lots of health problems are increasing day by day. Technology is good if we use it in a proper way.

Technology is the talk of the day. I quote a brilliant line. "today we don't call a person illiterate if he does not know how to read or write we call a person illiterate as to a person who ceases to learn". So I say that if any one is not aware of the recent technological developments then he is next to illitrate. According to me one must embrace the technological advancements. And as one said it is difficult to get in the rural places the touches of tecnological advancements I tell him its better late than never.

Hi guys! yes, in my opinion technology creates inequality in income of a person or a company. As we know that technology gives easy way, takes much less time to do any work and we know "time is money", so if you save your time you save your money and in daily practice or in companies also if you do some work before time limit which you given, then you will get bonus it mean income disparity, so any person which technically skilled definitely he will have more income than unskilled person, but it requires use of technology in proper way.

I think technology has actually created income disparities. The best example is computer which is also one of the reasons for the disparity. Proficient in computer means you need to b acquianted with each and every language. The persons adroit in these languages are always preferred in any IT company and hence provided with high income than those who have just a basic computer knowledge and got a job in small sectors.

One more example that I would like to set is the private institute be it a coaching institute or retailing sectors. In coaching classes, the technology has enabled the students present in some state, to view their teacher and his lectures delivered in some other state. For which the institute has to charge more from their students to compensate for their extra expenses. That has also created more income disparities between the these lavish institutes and conventional institutes.

Another instance is the various kinds of equipments that hospitals are using and therefore it actually adds to their income because they have to charge more for any operations or any examination treatment like x- rays etc. Although the technology has always proved beneficial to everybody. But on the same floor, it has created income disparity.

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.
