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.

Hi friends in my opinion technology is a shortcut (fast) for every work it is upgrading day by day but simultaneously we should concentrate non-technical methods. Such as we can send a message to any other person who is far away from us by calling, messaging through electronic gadgets, but if those electronic gadgets may expire at any time then what would be the situation ? so we have to create an alternative for every work by non technical method also.

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.

In my opinion technology makes income, more than non-technical methods why because by the technology we obtain several different methods and also we developed in such a way. By this technology we invent any machines which are useful to us, by these machines we also gain a lot of time, In that time we will work another work then we will get more income. By this technology some loses also is there like air pollution etc.

So we have to use our technology in useful way.

Technology can never create disparity in any of the aspects whether its the matter of income, business etc. Technology is something which bridges the gap and provides a platform so that work can be carried out in a smooth way.

So in my opinion technology when in the population of over 1.25 billion wherein 900 million people are using cellphones its needless to say that technology is impacting the life of people in a positive way. Coming to income, with technology now its getting much more easier to earn income through technology so it cannot create disparity.

According to me, "Technological Progress is correlated with increasing income inequality".

We know that technology is more important in our daily life. But due to the difference between a poor and a rich & a skilled and an unskilled persons, it varies.

It creates inequality, where technology is high and only skilled persons can apply for the job but not unskilled. So, it creates Income Disparities.

Technology is a big part of our world today. The new generations of our world are so familiar to technology because this is what they are growing up with. It can spark discussion because we can communicate with each other when we are on the other side of the world, we can discuss movies and shows and even similar video games that we play.

If you're complaining about children not talking with their parents you need to realize that the parents are putting it upon themselves. If they didn't want their children ignoring them by staring at a screen, they can take whatever type of technology it is away or never even give them the electronic in the first place.

We make technology seem like such a bad thing because we don't realize it is easy to stop the negative affects it has. Technology has many positive affects including, you can share your emotions online just like how I am right now, you can prove yourself, be creative, we can talk to other people and many other amazing affects technology has had on our world.

It has made many aspects of our lives much easier and overall is just trying to positively help us yet we make it a negative.

Now days, Technology is a part of our life. We can't survive even a single day without technology. Technology has lots of merit and some demerits. So merits are:

1) Technology provides Internet which provides GPS. So GPS is a very powerful thing, we can search every unknown place within a second.

2) Technology provides online business. If you have talent then make your websites, applications & etc then you can earn at home in every second without any tension.

3) Technology provides social site like Facebook, Gmail, LinkedIn, twitter & etc so that we all are connected with each other where distance doesn't matter.

4) So here I'm sharing my view with you only because of Technology.

Where Technology is a good thing but it's provides some negative points:

1) Now days everyone is addicted to use it. Like now days even children spends their whole days on playing Game, Whatsapp, we-chat, Facebook, & etc they are spending their whole day in front of a box called computer, which is not good for their health while in the earlier days children used to spend their time in playing cricket, football, some physical activity.

2) It's very difficult to understand about a technology for uneducated people, so it creates problems for them, like me.

So In the end, I want to say that technology is good & necessary for us, because more technology more growth.

Hello friends.

In my opinion technology is a good thing in the present situation.

This is because new technology brings good income by this way our country can be developed. More job opportunities can be created to people, in this way unemployment may be eradicated.

Even if we have talent we can make websites, apps and earn income through it.
