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?

It is sometimes argued that technological advancements have detrimental effects on our customs. In my opinion,

technology

does not hamper

traditions but

traditions, but

rather supports to retain its values. New developments are not problematic for our cultures because of the following reasons.

Firstly

for our betterment. People use new devices and gadgets for our convenience and making our life easier,

therefore

, it has nothing to do with our beliefs and values.

For instance

, using a vacuum cleaner

of brooms will not make us less traditional.

Secondly

, the latest

technology

has enabled humans to be more connected than ever before. Modern apps

such

as Facebook and Instagram and state-of-the-art mobile phones have made families possible to connect with each other anywhere anytime instantly.

This

, in fact, is a positive development as people can still follow and perform or witness their rituals and customs via video calls even when away from home.

For instance

, my mother usually performs my birthday rituals in the traditional way via Skype video chat. With

this

obvious reason, I would say that

technology

has enabled us to retain and maintain our cultures and traditions not only from our nations but

also

from foreign countries.

Conversely

, there are some negative effects of

technology which

technology, which

I would like to outline. Even though

technology

has brought us together with 24-hour connectivity, it has isolated us at the same time. People are lost in the world of their smartphones and tend to engage in themselves even in social gatherings.

Similarly

, more children are enjoying indoor activities

such

as video games and seem to enjoy much of their leisure time playing

their rooms.

However

, these are only some dark sides of the story and are inevitable at any circumstances. In conclusion, it appears to me that even though there are some negative aspects of new technological developments, I would say that there are more positives. If used properly and wisely, definitely

technology

can go in parallel with our traditions without damaging it.
