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 believed that the development of

technology

will lead to the loss of traditional cultures in some nations, and they definitely cannot coexist. Personally, I partially disagree with

this

idea because except for communication, I believe that technological advancement plays a constructive role in fostering these cultures in other aspects. On the one hand, it is breakthroughs in

technology

that make a contribution to the disappearance of traditional methods in communication. To be specific, in the past, people mainly held face-to-face conversations with those in their communities or wrote letters to long-distance relatives.

However

, phones and computers have gradually overtaken those communicative approaches. These days, they tend to make phone calls and send emails rather than talking man-to-man and using handwritten letters as these modern methods are more convenient and time saving.

On the other hand

, technological advances undeniably help to preserve traditional cultures. Thanks to the mass media, people can effortlessly obtain a copious amount of knowledge about different cultures in the world.

Additionally

, should a culture be well-known, it will be conserved and developed by not only its communities but the government as well. Buddhism in Thailand is a vivid example. With the help of social media, residents in other continents,

such

as Europe and America, know and are attracted by

this

special tradition, thereby visiting

this

country. To promote tourism, authorities have invested in the preservation and development of

this

culture. In conclusion, despite resulting in changes in communication,

technology

has obviously encouraged traditional cultures to thrive. My view is that

technology

and cultures are compatible, and humans should utilize the latest technologies to preserve traditional values.
