This

essay will discuss how

such

rate. Recently, many companies all around the world are keen on robots

instead

of humans in many tasks and jobs.

For instance

, it has been shown that the European manufacturer relies highly on machines and robots in the manufacturing process. In the fifties of the

last

century,the company was producing one-

third

of production when compared to today. For

this

reason, many humans are losing their jobs due to

such

an advancement. Another significant point is that there are still some nations who do live in a miserable situation did not even hear about the term technology in their lives.

For example

, most of the villagers in the Amazon in South America still live the life of ancient people, they lack electricity, roads or even schools.

Nevertheless

, if governments exploit the resources of technological advances, the

gap

between the poor and rich can be minimized dramatically. Take the United Arab Emirates,

for example

,

this

country was a complete desert back in the middle of the

last

century. Their citizens lived a simple life as they were using camels in their transportation until the Sheikh of Emirates decided to make the difference after having the oil discovered in the seventies. Now, the UAE is the favourite place for many people around the globe whether for tourism or mega-companies. The UAE is considered as a great example of a paradigm shift from the ancient to modern life. To conclude, we have talked about the effects of modern technology on increasing and lowering the

gap

between wealth and poverty. I personally think that it is the government’s responsibility to encourage their people about the benefits of modern technology.
