It Is Inevitable That as Technology Advances, Traditional Cultures Will be Lost IELTS Writing Task 2

An influential browser, for instance, is YouTube, which is accessible to millions of people worldwide. In order to convey local cultural stories while they go through nature, many social influencers and celebrities. Such as actors, singers, and reporters, build their own channels. Like the Songkran festival and the Loy kra thong festival, which are both street food events in Thailand. On the other hand, some people contend that engaging with a local culture first-hand is more impressive than watching it on YouTube. This may be partially true, but I firmly believe that preserving culture in online society is preferable to letting it disappear. Several traditional civilizations have survived to this day, despite the fact that the globe is heading toward a number of good technologies. To emphasise my viewpoint, let me use the example of Steve Jobs' well-known technology business, Apple, which has expanded internationally. Since 1976, this group has invented a number of things, including the Apple desktop computer, iPhone, iPad and much more. The tourists may utilise this technology to share tourist attractions in my nation with people all over the world. This also contributes to the popularity of many Thai festivals. To sum up, technological advances can help to popularise national cultures. And they also help to conserve and make foreigners aware of the distinctive cultures of each nation. I advised individuals all across the world to employ cutting-edge technologies to promote culture in their nation.

Both technology and traditional cultures have to ultimately support human survival by fulfilling their basic needs. Whether it is an ancient, medieval, or modern world, basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter are a must. All traditional food items are still available in their native regions. The only difference is the method of preparing these food items. In olden times it was produced manually and by using coal and sticks. In modern days, the same food items are prepared by using LPG cylinders, stoves, and electric ovens. The dress code is also more or less the same all over the world. The only difference is the cloth material and sewing style. The biggest difference that we can see nowadays is the kind of shelters in which we live. In the olden days' humans were living in huts and shacks. That traditional culture has gone. Nowadays most humans live in pucca houses. That’s how technology has both modified and carried forward the old traditional cultures into modern lives. Modern housing may display traditional culture in style, but not in content. The food cooking and preserving methods have been totally changed, though some food items have been cooked in every home. The means of entertainment have been changed, Theatre and plays were modern means of entertainment. Now a day they have been replaced with information and communication gadgets. Same songs, dances, and music have been created with the help of modern technology. Traditions have been conserved, but with a little modification. In the olden days, the means of transport were carts and animals. Now the means of transport have been totally changed. Yet, traditional ways of transport still exist in some parts of the world, the major part of the world has been with modern transport. The same kind of pilgrimages have been made by cars, buses, trains, and flight. So, it is concluded that technology has modified some traditional cultures, but has not eradicated all in a shot.

The traditions based on superstitions must have to go. A change is required to eradicate superstitions in society for removing false notions in the minds of people, and also to provide better facilities and living conditions to common people. Traditions that push people into danger and poverty cannot be controlled. Modern educated society can be capable enough to throw them out of their lives with the help of scientific studies and technological know-how. Technology acts as both a catalyst and filter to old traditions and cultures. The traditional cultures like female genital mutilation, self-flagellation, impaling, baby tossing, finger amputation, firewalking, and human sacrifices have been eradicated to the maximum extent possible due to technological advancements in information and technology. A lot of messages, films, debates, and discussions through print media, television, the internet, and youtube have educated people sufficiently enough to suppress all these inhuman practices. In the olden days, people were habituated to approaching quacks and religious heads to cure their diseases. Nowadays this trend has gone, A lot of unnecessary sufferings and deaths have been considerably declining due to medical facilities within the reach of poor and rural people.

In conclusion, technology is not a bane but a boon to human lives. It is not against all traditions, but against bad traditions only. In many circumstances technology modifies the negative side of traditions into positive forms. The most dangerous superstitions have been controlled to the maximum extent due to rapid strides in information and technology. We can find a great refinement in our food habits, clothing, housing, relationships, and social living due to technological transformation.
