Today we watched a movie on the effects technology has on not only markets, and production but also on communities. Technology lends its self to more corporations and monopolies, therefore depleting the little man. Many mom and pap stores are being shut down due to the fact the larger stores have better technology and can provide more for the consumer; widening the gap between the rich and poor. Plugged in a Internet access site in L.A. chose to move its location because all the neighboring stores were being shutdown around it by the large monopolies, causing the area to decrease in value. This was definitely an enlightening view of the hardships that technology has created, and almost makes you question if it is worth it.
