Nowadays, technological advancement has made significant impact on nation's skills and way of life.
Some argue that this impact is not so extraordinary that it will destroy the indigenous skills and lifestyle.
However, it is seen that globalization and major organized companies plays important role in development of a country as well as making local skills and lifestyle almost obsolete. These will be critiqued before reaching to reasoned conclusion.
Firstly,it is noticed that globalization has a huge impact on a nation's development and bringing the whole world together.
Take, India for example, where chinese or western restaurents are more famous than local one, western cloths are being preferred and they play english songs in dance clubs. This proves that globalization is vastly changing the local lifestyle. Thus, it can be said that globalization will kill local lifestyle.
Secondly, big companies plys most important role to develop any country. They bring new technology and experience which they have aquired over a long period of time. For instance reliance, a big Indian garment making company has brought machines from USA to boost their production so that they can meet local demand. These machines have killed thousands years old weaving skill and technology. Therefore, it is obvious that multi-nation companies kill local skills and technology.
After analysing above, it can be proved that in long run technical development will wipe out local skills and way of life.
Though, it is very important to retain these values and talents. One way to preserve these is to educate people on keeping ancient skills and indigenous lifestyle.
