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?

With some traditional cultures declining along with the advancement of

, whether the development of
technology
 has a negative impact on our life has become a topic of widespread debate. Personally, I am inclined to the view that
technology
 plays a pivotal role in promoting our valuable
culture
 and improving our standard of living. As for our
culture
, it is an inevitable trend that modern digital
technology
 is being used to revitalise traditional arts. One striking example is non-fungible tokens (NFTs). With

, scientists can better use data to enhance our lives, and our health. In fact, the advancements have greatly improved our healthcare system. Particularly, during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is these technologies that have assisted governments to contain the pandemic more effectively. Without advanced

, it would not be possible for governments to spread health awareness and manage large volumes of medical data as they do now. To conclude, if we put

 to good use, I believe it is not the enemy of traditional

 and it can greatly protect our safety and health. Of course,

 assumes that governments have invested sufficient resources in

 and healthcare to reach the goal.
