Although

, both aforementioned notions can be argued, in my opinion, it is the latter one that holds true, and

this

essay will provide evidence as to why it is so. There is a general perception that innovation in the field of

technology

has made the poor poorer and the rich a lot richer. With increasing reliance on

technology

, the middle-class and the well-to-do sections of the society have found more avenues to enhance their skillsets and

accordingly

their incomes, whereas the underprivileged ones who don’t have access to it, have stagnated.

For instance

, countries that invest a substantial amount of their budget on research and development, have a wide

in per capita

income

amongst their citizens. Indeed, the increasing widening of

income

amongst the different sections of society can be attributed to science.

However

technology

has evolved gradually, it has bridged the

gap

between the rich and the poor. Because of digital innovation, there has been an increase in opportunities
