When a country develops its technology, 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?

the period of development. I disagree with the opinion that, when
technology
develops in a country, the traditional
skills
disappear. There are two reasons that I will describe related to
this
case; traditional
skills
can combine with
technology
and traditional
skills
still have a great position in technological development. On the one hand, traditional skill is the heritage from our ancestors. So we have responsibilities to take care of it. The development of
technology
has huge advantages for ‘traditional
skills
’. Using the
technology
we can improve these
skills
and while trying to introduce new innovations to combine
technology
and traditional
skills
.
For instance
, ‘hand art painting’ is one of the traditional
skills
, people can make a new creation by using
technology
that uses ‘Photoshop’. The combination between hand art painting and Photoshop software will be a great innovation. People can create great works and earn a lot by doing
this
. On another hand,

traditional skill used products are still having a high position in the marketing field.
For example
, Indonesian traditional stuff namely ‘Songket’ is still creating great improvement in the sale. In my friend hometown, an industrial Songket factory, at the end of 2014, received orders for 2000 to 3000 pieces of '

stuff from some countries including the USA, Italy, Japan and Vietnam. It proves that traditional products still stand up till now. To sum up, traditional
skills
are still alive though
technology
has increased dramatically. It still has a special place in people’s lives.
Also
, traditional
