Innovation and inventions gave birth to the industrialization revolution. Before the coming of the Industrialization, every work remained on a small scale which required time and ultimately became costly. By the arrival of the industries, it changed the lifestyle of the people by providing products like textile and other materials at a lower price than hand made goods were. Industries benefited through machines because they completed work in little time and were able to work for long hours without giving breaks. Goods became more affordable as they dominated the market.
The innovations and inventions have always had great benefit, and this has been especially the case since the Industrial Revolution started. The industry and the citizens have started to have bigger and bigger benefit from all the new innovations and inventions, with the main reason being that they were less costly. They managed to make the production and manufacturing processes much quicker, easier, more efficient, thus cheaper, and that has led to drop of the prices of the goods, so the industry benefited as it constantly produces a lot, or increases its production, while the people are getting products of high quality for lower cost.
Oil has increased the gap between the poor and the wealthy.

As of now, oil is one of the main sources of energy and the middle east has more than half of the world's total oil reserves and it represents about 65% of the total world oil reserves. Saudi Arabia being the far largest producer i.e 42% of the middle east.
U]Iran has 19% of the production, UAE has 11%, Iraq has 6% and Kuwait has 11% and Qatar 4% and Oman 5% of reserves. Thus oil nature of occurrence and nature if demand has led to the gap between the rich and the poor nations.
