Topic: Can Technology Help Eradicate Poverty? - page 3. (Read 1073 times)
It's more of a social issue. America is one of the most advanced countries in the world but they still have a serious homeless problem because the majority of the new wealth created goes to the top.
As far as technology goes, One trip to the moon could feed millions of homeless, hungry people. To eradicate poverty, All people would have to be limited to a basic income. And not be allowed to hoard money for themselves. There's plenty of money, I'ts just all in the wrong places.
If people are able to work, they should. If they aren't, they should be helped by fellow Americans. Look at Bill Gates, Hes the richest dude around. But he does the right thing, He gives his money away to help others. He will probably be the one responsible for finding a vaccine for AIDS. If all the rich were as generous as he is, The world would be a better place to live.
As far as I can tell Bill Gates is among the most evil men to have ever lived. Hard-core eugenicist from a family of the same (his father headed up planned parenthood who's roots trace right back to the early 20th century eugenicists who changed their marketing once the Nazis gave the movement a bad name.)
Gates is a cheap fucker to. He'll happily sterilize and cut the branches off the trees of 'useless eater' family lines so his class can more safely make more money, but won't then shoulder the burden of taking care of people who have no support when they get old because they were covertly sterilized and have no children to take care of them.
Gates and people like him want the population to be about 1/10 of what it is now. And they want to make sure that people like themselves maintain an advantage over the remaining population so that they can properly 'manage' the planet.
Gates has enough money to buy the best PR which works wonders on the weak of mind...as evidenced by posts like yours.
I don't there's anything that can eradicate poverty in this world, there will always be poor people in the land. Poverty is state mind and even in developed world,there are still poor and homeless people .
There are so many innovative ways to deal with the canker of poverty globally and the advent of technology through internet is already doing wonders.Through technology, the cure for strange disease that affect the poor can be tackled,new jobs are created through the internet, new vaccines are emerging etc.Technology is a great tool for poverty reduction worldwide and we need to stick to it's development and mainstream usage.
We need technology. We have been able to develop our society thanks to it. Without technology, we would have been equal to the caveman. Technology nowadays is even more important than religion. We cannot live without our phones or computers. Many people earn thanks to computers. We have many millionaires thanks to computers and the internet. Indeed technology has a big role to play in our society. I am sure that one day, we will eradicate poverty thanks to it. We are actually already trying. The bitcoin is one the method to eradicate poverty thanks to technology.
I doubt poverty will ever go away. Why? Because not everyone will be industrious and smart enough to generate wealth. And in as much as you're not offering services that generate wealth, then you will be poor. This idea of helping others, especially by welfare, is misplaced. If we must tame poverty, education and empowerment is the way. It is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. Technology might actually go a little way in reducing poverty but it will not eradicate it. Aren't there poor societies even in the most technologically advanced countries?
Technologies like virtual and augmented realities create experiences which can help generate empathy. Why? Because these experiences enable us humans to live in the shoes of others. Makes sense, right? This can foster understanding and compassion among leaders and policymakers, helping solve issues such as civil rights, social welfare and immigration, and therefore can be a solution to growth and equality.
What do you think?
You've thought up quite the scenario. So, you imagine that some political leaders will put on some virtual reality goggles, see poverty, be touched, then go save the world? This seems highly unlikely. I guess the only thing I can imagine similar to this is that thanks to technology, people can become more aware of the issues poor people are facing and then come up with solutions that will bring permanent positive change to their lives.What do you think?
The biggest way technology is helping to eradicate poverty though is education. The internet is very quickly covering the whole world. Now millions of people have access to all the world's information, who didn't even have access to schools before. This is changing the world.
I think not, why technology is in the hands of the wealthy people
they are not going to give away something without getting a thing or get profit,
technology may or maybe help eradicate poverty in a way that someone takes control
of everything that has a heart for the poor, give away something that may help poor people
do things and make it prosper, but the key here is that even though you are poor
with technology or not fight and strive until you achieve your goal in life, never give up
because at the end of the day, you will be the key to success.

Technology removing poverty from the world is a bit ambitious.
I believe we need all types of people as far as professions, education levels and those spiritual or poverty. Even what the world considers as good and bad...Its a balance..Destruction brings forth the new
Contrast creates new worlds. Not to say that people should starve...planting all types of fruit bearing trees having access to fishing raising cattle having these resources available for those that desire to live a more modest existence.

Total bull. If anything they'll develop even less 'empathy' than the vestigial amount of empathy that they might have. The 'game' of managing the 'useless eater' classes for maximum exploitation will be even more of a 'virtual world' for these creeps.
Far down the pyramid there will be middle managers who may have a typical amount of empathy, but this type of 'normal' degrees of humanity is totally incompatible with performance in the higher ranks of power. Again, 'technology' will make the situation worse not better.
Some research I've been reading describes the methods whereby the 'elite' put a great deal of effort into well honed methods of killing off empathy in their own children's very early years when the mind is still quite malleable. Nasty stuff, but I'm only 50/50 on whether there is substance to some of these tales. Some circumstantial evidence indicates to me that there could be, and it does seem to be the case that leadership placements do have a fairly strong familial basis even to this day in supposedly 'democratic' forms of government.
More jobs is will help eradicate poverty not technology and proper education. And also if the government is not corrupt. If we have a better government and their jobs will be done properly there's no more poor people.
And also if we help each other and respect we can attain better life.

Nothing can eradicate poverty even technology. Poverty is a cycle handed down from generations to generations. Poverty for me is a choice. A person may be born poor but with hard work, perseverance and patience he can die rich.
Greediness, selfishness, corruption, oppression and laziness is the root cause of poverty. Eliminating those things can only help eradicate poverty not technology.

technology can eradicate poverty. I took our example with the help of technology to easily raise funds from around the world to help starving Africans, just by uploading a video
Applying scientific knowledge in today's world will go very long way to get away with the rate of poverty Through technology, the rate of unemployment will be drastically reduced since there will be the job avenues available to the public. Also, people will get the chance to explore more and find other ways of getting money on crypto currencies. For instance is bounty hunters partaking in bounty campaigns and getting paid at the end.
Technology can definitely help eradicate poverty but it can also cause poverty. It really depends on how the community or government uses it. Technology, in itself, is neutral. It's like a knife -- it can be life-saving or life-threatening depending on how it is used.
of course you can see what is happening in china today
If virtual reality is needed for empathy, it's just a waste of money for ones country that will use it that way.
Earlier days there are countries that doesn't have enough knowledge with technology but they are rich in resources, it's just about on how they'll use their resources to end poverty problems.
If there's enough resources to ones country, no one will have to starve to death, no one will complain about poverty because most of them are working to produce something new with those resources.
But the sad part, not all countries does have those resources.
As part of solution to those countries that doesn't have enough resources to manufacture/reproduce something profitable, they can use their environment, adopt it and make something out of it.

if seen in the present eras technology can obviously help eradicate poverty for example with technology one can trade through an online shop or can also find a job in internet services that certainly can help eradicate poverty because if the level of unemployment is reduced of course the poverty rate will also slowly decrease.
If you look at it in the first place, you might think that technologies cannot help eradicate poverty, because it seems that poor people only gets poorer as they try to reach out in the online world and usetechnology. We might think that it only makes them lazy, hencemaking them poorer. However, little did we know that technology ay somehow help eradicate poverty. It is because it can serve as a platform for the people to het empathy and sympathy by means of sharing their story. And these empathy and sympathy way turn into a campaign and can be an income-generating project that does not necessarily give the poor the money but an opportunity for them to work in a decent and fair workplace when it comes to salary and workload.
