Therefore I

Therefore, I

strongly disagree that the traditional skills die out with the use of latest

and I shall articulate

this

contention of mine in the forthcoming paragraphs. To commence with,

first

and foremost

technology

helps to make peoples life simple, comfortable and effective by tailoring to their daily needs and

example, in

Gujarat, India, the very famous diamond business has increased its production multi-fold because of the use of the latest

technology

simultaneously along with the traditional skills of craftsmanship, on which it relies, which eventually has now become an intrinsic part of it,

thus

proving that both latest

technology

and traditional skills go hand-in-hand.

Furthermore

, the simple availability of

technology

is not

self-sufficient but

self-sufficient, but

what channelizes the growth is the effective exploitation of the

technology

at hand and

thus

it can be used to impart holistic knowledge and develop

further

sets of skills which again would ultimately help an individual and through the collective action, a nation to grow and progress.

Technology

has become

such

an essential part of everyday life that it is impossible to alienate it from anything, be it education, businesses, health, government administration, etc and

this

has been reiterated by the famous magazine The Times of India in one of its article saying that, "about 258 million companies use amalgamation of latest technologies and traditional skills in their businesses every year" To conclude, I would like to juxtapose by saying that the growth of a nation riding on latest

technology

sans the traditional skills would be equivalent to buying a petrol driven expensive car without a fuel tank, it would look appealing while standing still but it would not serve its true purpose,

thus

people and their nations should give equal priority to both the aspects for a sustainable and omnipresent growth.
