When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and the way of life die out. It is pointless to try to keep them alive.
To what extend do you agree or disagree.
No one can deny the power of technology in the modern society; however, it is the cause for the dying ancient skills and the way of life. Some tend to believe it’s worthless to preserve traditional skills, while it is disagreed for the following reasons.
Firstly, some traditional arts are linked with countries pride and strength, take “martial arts” as an example. It was originated during Xia dynasty, more than 4000 years ago in China. In this twenty first century people wish to learn it for being physically and mentally fit, some even learn this for defence purpose. Besides Chinese people, other nations are also promoting this art, which shows huge respect for the Chinese people and is pride for them. So, this skill should be alive for the sake of the nation and its citizens.
Secondly, due to advancement in technology people are able to do distance learning. But, this trend cannot replace traditional method of teaching where teachers and students have a close relation as a family and the way teacher explain to its pupils are more understandable than by computer technology. In addition, many people writing skills are poor due to usages of software like, Microsoft word where spelling are auto corrected and sentence are checked for grammatical mistakes. This clearly indicates that technology is decreasing our memory power and our learning skills which our ancestors left for us.
To sum up, although, technology has become one of the important aspects of our lives; it cannot eliminate the power of ancient methods of learning and teaching. People should learn some skills either to promote their countries pride or for their self-achievements.
