RE: ADSactly Tech News - Does Increased Access to Technology Increase Societal Inequality?

in #technology7 years ago (edited)

Just because the technology exists doesn't mean normal everyday people will be able to afford access to it.

I think everyone should have access to this kind of technology. Who decides that one person deserve better than the other?
If we had social democracy all over the entire world, we wouldn’t be asking this question. We know in capitalism this system doesn’t work. Only rich and corrupt can afford it. In socialism only powerful and the most corrupt can afford it. What about poor people, what about diminishing middle income people who can hardly afford health insurance, at least in NY.

We are living in an age of smartphones, AI, robotics, genetic engineering and blockchain.

Just a decade ago we had our first smartphone. I wonder what our world will look like in another 10 years. Flying cars? Banks being finally replaced by blockchain technology? My dream would come true lol. Perhaps at the end blockchain technology will solve the issue to everything, including technology involving healthcare. I definitely expect human jobs being replaced with computerization and AI. I recently read an article about robots to take 800 million jobs by 2030. I think it will happen much sooner. It’s scary, but it’s already slowly happening and it’s inevitable. Once this transition happens, something will have to change. There are already talks about universal income. We shall see.
