The range of technology available to people is increasing the gap between the rich and the poor. Others think it has an opposite effect. Discuss both views and give your opinions.

Our world is driven by
technology
. While there are different
technologies
available with capabilities beyond our imagination, some
people
think that it makes the gap between the wealthy and the poor bigger whereas others think that it actually has

. The possible reasons are there are too many resources involved, and it is not a necessity.
As a result

are seen as the exclusives to the top few, extremely wealthy

in the world.

technologies
are made available to
people
from all kinds of financial backgrounds nowadays, especially those
technologies
that are essential in our daily lives. Whenever a new techy item comes out, it would be expensive at
first
but it will eventually be affordable for most of us after the market competition.
For example
, when a smartphone was invented a decade ago, it was expensive and usually, only one person in a high-income family can afford to have it.
However
, more affordable smartphones became available in the market from different manufacturers around the world which makes the price of smartphones go down significantly. Nowadays, almost everyone, both rich and poor, has a smartphone. To conclude,
although
it is true that some advanced
technologies
are only available to

people
, there are still lots of them that are affordable by
people
from any background and usually, these are the ones essential in our lives.
Therefore
, I believe that
technology
reduces the gap between the different social statuses.
