Some believe that modern technology is increasing the gap between rich and poor people, while others disagree. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Modern
technology
has shaped what the world it is today. In social perspective, some people believe that it has increased the difference of quality of life among the wealthy and the destitute. In my opinion, modern
technology
closes the gap between rich and poor because it has become a tool for many people who have improved their life. The reason for people who believe that modern
technology
increases the gap between rich and poor lies on the fact that modern
technology
is expensive. Let us take the case of students, because of the high cost of gadgets
such
as computers and cellphone, which is used to study, a destitute student cannot afford to buy.
As a result

thus
closing the difference of rich and poor.
