tokens: Technology that widen the gap between rich and poor? Technology, in the past two hundred years, has taken a dramatic progress in many fields of our society, such as telecommunications, manufacturing and buildings, etc . Certainly, technologies have also contributed to the great change of our daily lives . However, today some people consider that the range of technology regarding of public has a negative effect on increasing the gap between rich and poor . Personally, I find it hard for me to agree with this opinion by the following reasons . In the first instance, the progress of material technology leads to the sharp fall of price of a great number of products . About ten years ago, mobile phones ware very expensive for most members of my country, only a few of rich individuals have enough money to buy one . Today, mobile phones become a common one of household items, which due to the cheaper materials and better producing technologies . Thus, most members of our society can benefit from the consequences of technical advancements, especially the poor people . Secondly, technical developments improve productivity, which help people to escape from daily chores, and invest more time and energy in studying and living a more meaningful life . With the development of Internet, we can enjoy the pleasure and conveniences which it brings about for us every day . In the past time, we had to spend a lot of time searching information and waiting for letters of our friends who lived far away from us . Nowadays, we can talk with our friends online, no matter where we are and how far between us . In addition, the Internet gives everyone access to the same information, this therefore leads to greater equality between individuals . Undoubtedly, everything has two sides and technology is not an exception . To some extent, the gap between rich people and poor is widen by technology, because only the rich people have ability to afford the expensive high-tech products, and these products can help them to earn more in return . Nevertheless, I think it is a limp opposition to the remarkable advantages of technology, and technology is not the root cause of the gap . In conclusion, the good technology bringing to us is undeniable . Under proper use of technology, the human being can be benefit a lot and perpetually from the advancement of it .
