When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive.To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Nowadays, technological advances and their rapid and wide applications are having a significant impact on a nation’s traditional skills and ways of
life
. Some argue that
such
impact is so extraordinary that it would make conventional skills and
life styles
a manner of living that reflects the person's values and attitudes

obsolete.
However
, I believe they would continue to thrive by providing alternatives to modern ways of
life
, and innovative ideas for modern technologies.
First
of all, traditional skills and ways of
life
are becoming an alternative solution to the problems caused by “

which are greatly influenced by modern technologies.

are increasingly becoming a useful alternative to the homogeneity brought by global applications of modern technologies.
However
, the evolution of technologies is a selection process, whereby some would become obsolete, but there is no doubt that some would thrive when their roles are appreciated.
