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?

Throughout human history, technological innovations have caused a

loss

of traditional skills and ways of life.

This

may seem like a cultural decline, but in fact it is just part of the natural evolution of humanity. It is

therefore

not worth the effort of keeping them alive when there is no longer any need for them. People often feel sad when a new technology supplants an old one and a previous way of life or particular skill is lost. Nowadays, computers are replacing almost everything, and it is speculated that self-driving vehicles will replace taxis and trucks on the road. These occupations will be lost, and those drivers will need to find new jobs. It seems

of these things, but

instead

will be grateful of the advancements that were made. It is easier to look at these things with the objectivity that comes through the passage of time. Nowadays, no one laments the

It allowed people to leave the fields and adopt new skills, which in turn has helped our species to advance and created all kinds of modern wonders that have improved our lives. In conclusion, it is reasonable to feel a sense of

for old skills and technologies, as well as the ways of life that these supported, but in the grand scheme of things, it is better that humans move forward with

further

technological innovations.
