Some people think that the range of technology currently available is increasing the gap between rich people and poor people. Others think that it is causing the opposite effect. Discuss both view and give your opinion.

Some people argue that

technology

makes the space between poor and rich people wider, while others say that it is actually helping them to be almost at the same level.

This

essay will discuss these views and will provide my personal opinion of it. On the one hand, rich people can easily get access to the current

technology

compared with poor people. Usually, the latest

technology

is likely to be expensive and be only acquired by those who can pay for it.

For example

, rich people can afford to buy an expensive computer, which might allow them to have more opportunities either in employment or educational field, whereas poor people might have to work for several years before being able to buy a computer and

then

get more opportunities.

This

trend, benefit more often the rich people and leave poor people behind, which

in other words

creates a gap

On the other hand

, today, there are more opportunities available for poor people that could avoid

this

gap. Several governments around the world are placing many strategies in their social development scheme in order to provide a range of

technology

for poor people.

For example

, because of

technology

, now,it is possible to install solar panel

technology

in the most vulnerable regions, which allow poor people to save money.

In addition

, because of the internet

technology

, some people with low income can work and study from home in the countryside and rural areas. It allows them to overcome economical hardship and to avoid the gap between them and rich people. To conclude, from my perspective,

although

there is more

technology

available for rich people,

technology

is

also

helping poor people significantly. In the future, the government should try to enhance projects where

technology

can be directed towards the vulnerable population.
