The applications of new technologies are one of most important ways of making millionaires such as Bill Gates. however，whether the technology has also widened the gap between the rich and the poor is a controversial issue.  my view is that the improper distribution system of social wealth，rather than modem technology，has caused such a social problem.

First, it is obvious that the government is the one most capable and responsible for solving any social issue and ensuring social equality.  This is because in order to bridge this wealth gap，the mast effective and direct method should be taxation leverage by which the  government  can use the rich people's tax money to subsidize the unfortunate. So, the technology should not become the scapegoat of the issue.

Moreover，modern technologies indeed have provided great opportunities for the poor to cet rich.  For example，Internet has already made many people to become wealthy by setting their own commercial websites. Compared with traditional industries，which require a large initial investment and higher operation cost，Internet is a much better and cheaper platform to make fortune for people from all social backgrounds.

Those who harbor the view that the technology has polarized the distribution of wealth around the world believe that the poor countries now are getting poorer due to lack of creative technologies to improve the social productivity.  Of course，this is a real phenomenon.  But paradoxically，the right solution for those nations is just to introduce advanced technologies from developed countries and increase their education budget.

In sum，modern technology plays a key role in filling the for individuals，but for nations as well. In the era of the diligent, smart enough and can capitalize knowledge arid gap between the rich and the poor not only knowledge-based economy，the one who is create knowledge will eventually prevail.
