Recent decades have witneed a major transformation in the way we communicate and live due to developments in modern science and technology.It raises concern about whether traditional cultures will be substituted by the overwhelming tide.I am inclined to the view that traditional cultures is far from extinction and it even conversely helps us make decisions for the proper use of new technologies.
It is undeniable that conventional ways of life still acce to the majority of people in spite of the highly advanced and available technology of internet.Most Chinese would prefer an authoritative newspaper and enjoy a cup of tea after all-day’s working in order to involve in up-to-date coverage.In this informative era, coverage on the internet is usually regarded as unreliable and inauthentic because of the relatively weak censorship.
Furthermore, traditional values and ethics can be a brief guidance towards newly technologies.Without a correct awarene of how we should make use of modern technologies to facilitate our ways of life, any individual, no matter how knowledgeable and profeional he might be on these techniques, is still likely to be led to a blind alley and do something detrimental to the society.One case to be illustrated is the producer of a kind of computer virus called “xiongmao shaoxiang”, who made this virus on purpose simply “out of unemployment”.It was reported that this computer virus had infected thousands of company networks between the year 2006 and 2007 and consequently gave rise to millions of lo on them.
Admittedly, some outcomes of traditional cultures are confronted with crisis.Take the U.S.Postal Service as an example.The once one of the oldest institutions in America is teetering on the edge of collapse as handwriting communicating has been replaced by emails, text maages and social media.Having said this however, this traditional form of communication dose exist even if it will never prevalent again.
To conclude, I am convinced that it is traditional cultures that are hardly replaced by the advanced technology.Meanwhile, most of them deserve better preserve for their conductive effect on modern techniques.
