It is inevitable that traditional cultures will be lost as technology develops. Technology and traditional cultures are incompatible. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this view? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Primitive cultures will eventually be forgotten as advances in

technology

occurs. These two concepts do not conform to each other. In

this

essay, I will argue that traditional cultures will undoubtedly be lost, as

technology

progresses and that, they do not work well together. Life was quite difficult before modern inventions came to be. In ancient times, before cars were invented, horses and camels were the means of transportation; they were the culturally acceptable ways to commute from one place to the other.

However

, it would take years to go from country to country, which today is not the case because of advancements in

technology

for example

aeroplanes, jets and cars. Over time, we abandoned these aforementioned crude means of transportation.

However

, does

this

make modern inventions and primitive practices incompatible with one another? I believe it does because;

technology

is based on science, which is rooted in facts. Whereas, traditional ways of life are coined from a belief in gods, the metaphysical and fortune or fate. With

technology

man has survived based on his ability to create whilst

on the other hand

culture bases man's survival on a deity or cosmic balance of sorts

therefore

, making these two ideas inapplicable with each other and for development to occur, there must be coherence of ideas. In conclusion, cultures of old will inevitably be lost because

technology

has made life so much better that we cannot live as we did before.

In addition

, these two are not compatible because they are very different in their origin and purpose. As

such

, man can either let go of traditional culture and go

further

into the new age of

technology

or let reverse be the case.
