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. Fuck them who misuse de technology.

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.

According to me technology makes income, no doubt in that, but only for those having knowledge of that technology, otherwise technology alone can't make any income. For example if we have cell phone with so many features but if we are not able to take advantage of it just because we do not have knowledge of how to use that. So in short these are the skills and techniques which makes income.

As the definition of technology goes, "technology is the knowledge of tools, machines, techniques, systems or methods of organisation to SOLVE A PROBLEM effectively and efficiently. Yes, I said "to solve a problem", So can it create income disparities?
I think all of you readers got my point.

Friends,
Technology has indeed turned boulders in the field of development, comfort and efficacy. But the superficiality of technology can be clearly made out i.e. the technology has spread its wings only over the urban areas. Half the teeming population is deprived of the use of technology.
The reason that backs this fact is that of illiteracy. To expunge this fastidious problem, we ought to look at the feasible methods at hand like making the latest technologies in rural areas, helping them understand their uses by conducting workshops. These attempts could prove felicitous only when implemented strenuously. This way we can make India Income disparity free country.
Thanks for providing me with a opportunity for sharing my views.

Technology has revolutionized our lives we can't imagine our lives with it but the fact that it has its own disadvantages the one familiar with it has the upper hand and vice versa thus it creates economic disparities.

Technology is one of the greatest term in this world. Technology means new ideas to detect and doing things on proper way. It is a time saving, by using technology we can do our work at proper place and on proper time. But everything having some drawbacks technology is use able by everyone. First we need to understand and then perform a work.

Technology help to make everyones work easy irrespective of the sector a person works like in farming it helps in weather forecasting, in health department for new treatments, in education for online edu. And many more. That will surely reduce the no.of workers and if we will not use technology the wages may decrease because of more no.of workers involved. Hence there there should be a balance between the both of the things in such a way the employment should not reduce substantially and the output will increase.

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.
