THE CONTRIBUTION OF PLURIDISCIPLINARITY IN ADDRESSING TECHNOLOGICAL INEQUALITY

Abstract

Technological inequality has emerged as a significant challenge in modern societies, impeding access to technological benefits and advancements. This paper explores the role of pluridisciplinarity—an approach that integrates multiple disciplines in problem-solving—in mitigating technological inequality. By examining the intersection of fields such as economics, sociology, technology, and education, we argue that a pluridisciplinary approach offers a comprehensive strategy for addressing disparities in access to technology. This article discusses the theoretical foundations of pluridisciplinarity and its practical implications for overcoming technological inequalities in both developed and developing countries, with a particular focus on the Pakistani context.
