Present a written argument or case to an educated reader with no specialist knowledge of the following topic. When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Overall, I disagree with the opinion expressed, I would like

to begin

by pointing out that Traditional skills and ways of

life

do not automatically die due to development in

technology

. In many ways, the history of civilisation is the history of

technology

, from the discovery of fire to the invention of the wheel to the development of the Internet we have been moving forward in the way of doing things. Some technologies,

such

as weapons of mass destruction, are of negative impact. Others,

such

as medical advances, positively help people to live better or longer, and so very much help traditional ways of

life

. There will be people who want to preserve their traditions even with the development of

technology

. Interestingly,

technology

can positively contribute to the keeping alive of traditional Skills and ways of

life

.

For example

, at places where the population is small leads to children not getting schooling. To avoid the children moving to mainland the government sets up schooling through the internet so that the children are not separated from their parents.

In addition

, the Internet, and modern refrigeration techniques, are being used to keep alive the traditional skills of producing salmon; it can now be ordered from, and

delivered

Suggestion

Delivered

to, anywhere in the world. In conclusion, without suggesting that all

technology

is necessarily good, it does not destroy the traditional way of

life

, in any way, to try to keep traditions alive with

technology

. We should not ignore

technology

, because it can support us in many ways.
