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

Some

believe that modern

is widening the gulf between rich and poor, whereas others feel that it is bridging it. I agree with the former point of view because

by and large benefits wealthy

.

On the one hand, it can be argued that the poor can now educate themselves online for free. In the pre-Internet era, those who had little education almost had no opportunity to ‘escape_ to better employment. They had to do low-skilled jobs and earn minimum wages all their working life.

, now poor

can acquire knowledge by reading articles and watching tutorials on the Internet without charge. The knowledge they have gained can help them change their fate.

, I disagree with

argument because those that are truly destitute might not have access to a computer or the Internet.

,

mainly works to the advantage of the rich.

is because they can afford to use advanced

to create more wealth. Manual workers, in comparison, are being replaced by automation.

, while Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is getting richer and richer as he keeps investing in logistics automation for the company_s warehouses, farmers and miners are losing their jobs to robots. I agree with

opinion because the poor cannot even keep their manual labour jobs, let alone close the gap with the rich.

In conclusion, I think modern

is exacerbating economic inequality because it is primarily in favour of already wealthy

.
