It is inevitable that traditional cultures will be lost as technology develops. Technology and traditional cultures are incompatible.

Technology
is continuously modifying our culture and lifestyle, and
people
are adapting to these changes.
However
, I disagree with the idea that cultures and
traditions
will be lost altogether in the future. It is true that rapid

advancements have changed our world in many aspects.
For example
, in many cultures, visiting families is a principal value.
Nevertheless
, after mobile phones were introduced to the world,
people
communicated virtually
instead
of meeting in person.
Also
, they were not obliged to refer to banks to pay bills or to travel to another country to visit its tourist attractions.
This
eroded the interpersonal socialization from which they formerly benefited. Nowadays, many individuals choose

However

to enjoy their leisure time together.
This
leads to long-lasting friendships and random discussions about cultural differences, foods, and ceremonies, and

raising cultural awareness through relationships.
Therefore
, it is not true that
technology
and
traditions
are irrelevant, at least regarding how it has brought many together worldwide. In conclusion,
while
technology
has posed threats to some cultural
traditions
, an appropriate approach could address the issues effectively and turn threats into opportunities to sustain cultural heritages.
