Technology: Is it creating a Divide or Bridging the Gap!

Definition : Technology:
- The practical application of science to commerce or industry
- The discipline dealing with the art or science of applying scientific knowledge to practical problems

In this era of Booming Sensex and Appreciating Rupee crisscrossing the Dollar which is trying to strengthen (all by itself)...
Flood, Farmers Suicide, and yet many more natural calamities and Man Made Disasters...
Fighting the Lost Battles like... Global Warming...
While we peek in to introspect to see how pervasive the technology has become to ease the mundane tasks in our lives...
Let's start our Day... From Dawn to Desk... the Gadgets we used, the Exploration we do and various kinds of Emotions we come along till we retire to our beds...
Compare this with some one living in a Rural Village some Hundred Kilometers Away...
What is the Difference...? Has Technology Bridged the Gap or is it a Divide when we liken our lives...

Has Technology reached Common Man?? .. Completely to be exploited??

People Talk about IT, BT blah, blah Blah... How has it helped a Common man...?
What is the penetration power if Internet in India... Vs Television and Mobile...

Read.. Slow Nation..

However what is the percentage of Masses who benefited by it...
Well I would say. Is that these haven't changed the way we live to an Extent mostly in rural areas, as to what the proclamation is!!
We are a country whose major % GDP comes from Agricultures, Thanks to the Globalization... which had Identified Us to be a cheap Laborers..
To outsource some of the menial Works in BPO, KPO, and LPO& RPO of course... Until some other Nation in the Globe Stands and proclaims to be cheaper than we do...
But yet... we still are advantageous on price Perfomance...
Reason: we are the second populated Nation on this planet!!
