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?

There is a well known saying that goes like "Necessity is the mother of invention". Man's thirst for innovation is insatiable leading to technological advancements at a lightning speed.

This

phenomenon has resulted in the many centuries old traditional practices looking at an extinction. I tend to say that

this

is almost true for majority of cultures across the globe. The mankind is constantly looking to make discoveries and innovations that make the life easier. Whether we consider the discovery of

having little time to spend with family. Social media is a great example, where people are more concerned about their virtual friends on a social media platform rather than having real friends.

On the other hand

technology

has actually improved the traditional cultural practices.
