    While technological advancement has contributed to the erosion of traditional culture through things like video games replacing traditional games and new instruments replacing old ones, the document argues that technology and tradition are not inherently incompatible. It maintains they can coexist if concrete steps are taken, such as educating youth about traditions through schools and parents, reviving traditional performances through media promotion, and embracing technology without fully abandoning cultural roots and origins. Overall the document concludes that while technology has washed away some traditions, traditions and technology do not have to be mutually exclusive and both can be preserved and developed.

    Topic: Technology
    Question: It is inevitable that as technology develops so traditional cultures
    must be lost. Technology and tradition are incompatible you cannot have
    both together. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

    Undeniably, technological advancement has rapidly eroded traditional culture
    we inherited from our ancestors. Traditional games, musical instruments,
    performances and celebrations are given less and less attention in this era of
    globalization.

    To illustrate, traditional games such as kites and tops have given way to the
    new, modern and sophisticated video games. Children nowadays are more interested
    in playing video games rather than traditional games which they deem old-fashioned.
    Apart from this, traditional musical instruments such as banjos are being replaced by
    new innovations such as pianos and electric guitars.

    In addition, the number of traditional performances organized such as the
    Chinese Opera have also been decimated over the past few decades. This is mainly
    due to creation of idiot boxes which broadcast a variety of TV shows, making
    traditional performances pale in comparison with all the comedies and soap operas
    broadcasted.

    Indeed, traditional culture is slowly being wiped out by the strong current of
    technology. However, both of them are not mutually incompatible. In other words,
    both of them can exist together. Concrete steps can be taken in order to bring these
    forgotten traditional cultures back into our society. One way of doing this is to
    educate our younger generation on our traditional cultures. Traditional games can be
    introduced as a kind of sports in schools. Parents also play a major role in educating
    their children to appreciate traditions which have been passed down from generation
    to generation. Traditional performances and the use of traditional musical
    instruments can be revived through the promotion by the media.

    In conclusion, the strong current of technological advancement has indeed
    washed out some of our traditions; nevertheless, both of them are not mutually
    incompatible. We can preserve our treasured traditions which reflect our origins and
    roots but at the same time manage to develop our country with full utilization of
    technology.
