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 true that nowadays
technology
has developed rapidly, and this
leads to a variety of changes in society. Some people
believe that traditional culture
would gradually disappear due to technological innovation. Although
it might be true in some cases, I would disagree with this
view in general.
There are several reasons why people
think technological progress results in dying out of traditional culture
. Firstly
, the diversity of culture
is obviously decreasing while culture
invasion has become much more common through the Internet. For example
, Hollywood movie is popular all over the world, which poses a threat to some local form of play. Secondly
, when people
get accustomed to a modern lifestyle in a civilized society, they’ll forgo their original lifestyle; this
may contribute to some precious traditional handcraft disappearing.
In spite of these negative effects, I would argue that technology
has significantly positive effects on traditional culture
. Nowadays, people
can easily preserve traditional culture
by using technological equipment. For example
, we can record traditional songs on a CD, or we can film traditional plays on a videotape. These recordings can spread much more widely throughout the Internet, so numerous members in public get chances to appreciate the beauty of traditional culture
. This
definitely cannot be done if there were not the help of modern technology
.
In conclusion, while I can understand why some people
have strong concerns that technological progress would ruin traditional culture
, I would argue that technology
has opposite impacts on traditional culture
, and these two are totally compatible.Submitted by 595939269 on
