What the real need of a human being is to get job. Technology creates job in different way. It create works which are done to get development n comforts. People get new options in their business which enhance the business and by which job opportunities are created. Just as there are so many employee in a bank and with the help of computer and note counter machine they can complete their work by the time which enhance the business n development of a country. So I don't think that technology cause to any hindrance in income.

Technology helps us to save our time. India is a developing country, in India technology pays a very important role. Previously India were importing products like cotton jute etc. Now India is importing machinery equipment from other countries so they can make the products. Technology helps us to make level of balance of trade and the balance of payment.

"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....

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 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....!

Having access to technology can help people to gain better access to information and improve upon their daily activities. There is a 'Digital Divide' that exists n India due to unaffordability of the huge rural population for technology. Better access to technology can help farmers learn about market prices and better practices in accordance with the data from meteorological organizations. Also farmers can know about which crops to produce regarding current climatic data and predictions regarding weather changes and monsoon cycles. This can improve their livelihood, demand better prices from middlemen and raise their incomes.
Also with technological exposure people can receive technical education which helps them get jobs and acquire skills and improve their livelihood. But this must backed by better education facilities and conduct education drives as it happened in Kerala and helped it reach a 100% literacy rate.
Technology is not the only cause for disparity, but in a multi pronged approach to reduce income disparity, better access to technology is an important factor.

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.

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 per my point of view technology doesn't create income. Yes ofcourse technology makes our work easy we can do same work in less time duration using technology but it only help in creating income. It is human mind which actually use and create that technology in oder to increase income. Basic root of income is human brain thus technology only helps to create income.

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.
