It is pointless to try and keep them alive. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion. The issue ‘with the development of the technology traditional skills and the conventional life style die’ is a controversial one and needs deeper argument before supporting or opposing the issue. Overall, I disagree with the opinion expressed; I would like to begin by pointing out that ‘traditional skills and ways of life’ are not totally vanished from one country, culture or community because of the introduction of technology. In many ways, the history of civilization is the history of technology: from the discovery of fire to the invention of the wheel to the development of the Internet we have been moving on from previous ways of doing things. Some technologies, such as weapons of mass destruction, are of negative impact. Others, such as medical advances, positively help people to live better or longer, and so very much help traditional ways of life. Surely, few people would seek to preserve such traditions as living in caves. Technology will always follow its own footsteps no matter what we, some people think about it. Technology advances because we need it. So there is no way to prevent the advancement of the technology but we should embrace it positively. The generation of a country is responsible to preserve their own custom and tradition and if people feel eager to save a tradition then there is no way technological advancement will destroy it. There are many cases where technology replaces human labor to create certain things for example: handmade sari, which are still popular in many countries. Technology in this case has not destroyed the old tradition but has introduced a faster and less expensive ways to create the same thing. Interestingly, technology can positively contribute to the keeping alive of traditional skills and ways of life. For example, the populations of some islands are too small to have normal schools. Rather than breaking up families by sending children to the mainland, education authorities have been able to use the Internet to deliver schooling online. In addition, the Internet, and modern refrigeration techniques, is being used to keep alive the traditional skills of producing salmon; it can now be ordered from, and delivered to, anywhere in the world. In conclusion, without suggesting that all technology is necessarily good, I think it is by no means ‘pointless’, in any way, to try to keep traditions alive with technology. We should not ignore technology, because it can be our friend and support our way of life. Answer 2: (Agree) Whether the technology and its influences kill the traditional way of life and whether should we try to preserve the tradition is a controversial issue and required an in depth argument before deciding. In my opinion, the technology definitely traditional skills, expertise and way of life change and the change might be slow for many societies but it is a sure thing. About the later part of the argument: ‘whether it is pointless to try to preserve those’ is something I opine that that should not be imposed to people. Who want to maintain the traditional way of living rather than embracing the technology should be given the option. The history suggests us that the new invention and technology have greatly changed the way people live and mostly these changes help them to choose for better alternatives. People who used to cultivate lands with the plough and cow in many years before and that was a kind of skill that became obsolete with the invention of motorized irrigation system. People might have lost the skill they had but the technology helped them to produce more crops than ever before. With the invention of cell phone, internet, television, refrigerator people have definitely adopted a different lifestyle than they had many year ago and those changes in my opinion are important to ensure better life. We would not blame the medical science for killing the traditional unscientific treatment and would widely accept it. In most of cases, people used to do things manually and with the widespread of technology they have started relying on technology than their own skill and that has caused the loss of traditional skill. But we have to bear in mind that many technologies have been replaced by newer ones and people always try to take the easy and better alternatives. About the importance of conserving the traditional skill and way of life, I would say when technology offers us a better alternative, we should cordially accept that but we should also respect the people who among us maintain the old way of life. Technology would knowingly and unknowingly influence our life but we should not make it a must for everybody.
