/^t/There is yet another problem connected with automation, namely an increase in wealth differences among the people. Not everybody may afford technology inventions such as computer or fax. For many people these devices are too expensive. Only a part of the society have an access to Internet services and fax communications. Although many of those devices are already on the market, not many people can buy them. It is because not all the people are wealthy enough to keep abreast of the times. This boils down to emphasizing wealth differences among the people. The poorer see the richer who can afford computers, faxes and it makes the poorer feel more depressed. In this way the poorer realize that there are richer members of the society who can lead better lives thanks to enjoying a privilege of using the technological inventions.
