　　核心词汇：technology, gap between the poor and the rich

　　文章结构：辩论型对称式话题。

　　What may technology do besides accommodating people's daily routines? What is there lation ship between technology and the gap of wealth? Some may hold the idea that it widens the gap, but others disagree with that. Personally, both sides of the issue should betaken into consideration.

　　It is quite reasonable to advocate that technological innovation will enlarge the gap of wealth to some extent.For one thing, some high-tech companies mastering the core technology will go to great lengths to maintain the monopoly position, which will make other competitors invest more money in researching on the same field or paying the patent fee with pressing economic burden.For another, having high technology equals to having more money, and then people or companies with a huge amount of money will control there sources of society simply, who also manage the capital to earn more in the market with ease.

　　However, technology can also narrow the rich-poor gap in some ways. On the one hand, with the great help of technology such as telecommunication and transportation,people are able to share information timely and clearly. This will provide citizens, especially those poor people, with golden chances to rise above the herd. On the other hand, the high-tech lowers the cost of living for daily life, which in fact narrows the gap between the rich and the poor, for they can spend money on education and other areas.

　　Therefore, technology is just like a regulation in society. It really does not matter what it is but it does matter how it goes and protects Using high-tech with a peaceful attitude will make the technology smell of roses.

　　除了能给生活带来便利之外，科技还能做什么呢？科技和贫富差距有何种联系呢？有人可能认为，科技扩大了贫富差距。有的人却对此持反对意见。我个人认为，两种观点都需要考虑进来。

　　在某种程度上，科技创新会扩大财富差距的言论是有道理的。一方面，一些掌握技术的高科技企业会尽力维持技术垄断的状态。这将会导致其他竞争对手在面临经济压力的同时，还要投入更多资金在同一领域做研究或者为专利费用付账。另一方面，拥有高科技就等同于拥有更多资金，而后坐拥大量资金的个人或公司便可以简单地控制社会资源，而且还能通过资本运作轻松地赚到更多钱。

　　然而，在某些方面科技还能够缩小贫富差距。一方面，在通讯和交通等科技的大力帮助下，我们可以及时、清晰地获取信息。这就为公民，特别是那些穷人提供了难得的机会能够出类拔萃。另一方面，高科技降低了日常生活的成本，事实上是缩小了贫富差距，因为这样人有〕就可以把钱花在教育和其他相关方面了。

　　因此，科技就像是社会的一种秩序。它是什么无关紧要，关键是如何对其加以运用和保护。用平和的心态来利用科技定会使科技芳香四溢。
