On the occasion of National Technology Day, I wanted to highlight how digital technologies have bridged the gap between people. Today, the rich, as well as the poor, are using the same WhatsApp, the same LinkedIn, and the same Facebook. Even the pricing for the SaaS platforms like Google Docs or Office365 is the same for all. This democratization of access to digital tools for everyone has bridged the gap between the rich and poor significantly. Long ago, it would have taken multiple generations for people to get rich. However, today, by leveraging digital tools, any person can get extremely rich in less than a decade. The majority of the top 100 richest people on earth are technologists and they all are first-generation entrepreneurs. With access to technology, anyone from any corner of the world can develop the next big thing
