Can technology offer solutions to inequality?
May 30, 2015 /
America is seeing levels of inequality it hasn’t experienced for a century. And if you believe some technologists, that can be addressed with gadgets.
For example, here’s Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talking about the Internet: "The richest 500 million (people in the world) have way more money than the next six billion combined. You solve that by getting everyone online."
This view isn’t limited to Silicon Valley.
"Technology is a game-changer in the field of education," says US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. It will "improve achievement for all and increase equity for children."
