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?

Technology

has increased at a rapid pace in the past few years and it is going to do so in the time to come too.

This

change has

also

transformed our lifestyles too. With

this

transformation, many people worry that our traditional cultures will suffer and die out for good. I personally feel that

this

fear is false and has no grounds.

To begin

with, traditional cultures comprise of two things; its values and its norms. The evolution of

technology

affects only the norms of a culture and not its values. As an example, let’s take the tradition of writing letters to the loved ones that our ancestors did many a times. Writing a letter is the norm while caring for your loved ones is the value of

this

tradition. With the emergence of

technology

, messaging apps like WhatsApp and Messenger have taken over the norm of letter writing because of their efficiency but the caring of your loved ones still exist. Same is the case with being

up to

date with the current affairs by reading newspapers on your breakfast table in the morning. The people can still know all the news through the same newspaper on their smartphone anytime they want. The list goes on and on about how

technology

has changed the norms of traditional culture but has not tinkered with its values. To conclude,

technology

has only made better our traditional cultures by improving the norms related

to

the values.

Thus

, it is perfectly compatible with the traditional cultures as it keeps their

essentially

unchanged.
