From Innovation to Inclusion: The Role of Equitable Technology in Society

Abstract

Technology has become a crucial part of modern society, shaping the way individuals interact, do business, and communicate with others. This paper explores the impact and implications of technological improvement on various societal aspects, including education, healthcare, business, and governance. Although it is undeniable that technology has driven progress, increased efficiency, and improved the quality of every life, one cannot deny that these cutting-edge technologies have negative aspects such as the digital divide, ethical concerns, and privacy issues. This paper's focus is to discuss the positive consequences of the evolution of technology as well as the negative consequences that revolve around the need for responsibility regarding innovation, and policies that will enforce equal access to technology and sustainable technology.  This study provides insights into how societies can implement technology for the greater good while minimizing potential risks through the analysis of historical trends and current developments.
