| Technology and Traditional skills |
When a country develops its technology, the traditional skills and ways of life die out. It is pointless to try and keep them alive. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
With progress and innovation setting their firm footing in almost every walk of life, sustaining
conventional techniques of negotiating work and living seem to be useless. Many think the old methods have become irrelevant and should be discarded, while some disregard the former view, and feel that it is impossible to shelve conventional
methods.
Technological revolution have proven
all old conventions wrong, and have ushered the humanity into a new era where the
priority is to attain output efficiently, and quickly, making it imperative to abandon the age-old methods of carrying
out work as the latter, despite focussing on quality, fail to guarantee
optimized outcomes, and in the modern paradigm. When richer yields are being targeted,
it is hard to rely on the old methodology of working.
Furthermore, the people who advocate applying
latest inclusion of inventions into the work processes feel that traditional
techniques now only have a monumental significance and they belong to shelves
in museums and archives. As per them, humanity is foraying into new domains and
to work in the new surroundings they need new concepts to achieve perfection
and precision. The age old conventional methods and technology are highly
incompatible in the new era.
However, some advocate
continuation and preservation of old applications and methods of addressing work. They feel that the old wisdom and methods have laid the foundations for
the evolution of state-of-the-art concepts. As per them, innovations are merely offshoots
of conventional knowledge, and even today, these ancient techniques enjoy great
relevance in resolving problems creeping up in latest introductions.
To sum up, disputes aside, I personally feel that
shelving traditional skills is not possible and humanity cannot afford to reliquich old methods: these shall endure for a long time.
