Article 1
Development of technology has a humongous effect on the ways of life in any country. Sometimes technology supports and magnifies the traditional skills, while in other cases it totally replaces those skills. However, some communities deliberately preserve some of its traditions to keep its culture alive.
Technology, to some extent, has changed the way of teaching and learning in education sector. It has made virtual learning possible and students can learn online whilst staying at home. However, it cannot replace the teacher completely because physical presence of teacher is very important in terms of solving problems and learning discipline. Interestingly technology, in the form of multimedia or transparency projectors, aids teacher to teach more effectively. Therefore the role of technology is very supportive in the field of teaching and learning.
There are certain skills totally taken up by new fast inventions. Farming has dramatically changed after the invention of machinery capable of cultivating and harvesting crops. A similar trend can be observed in the field of construction. Owing to technology many countries: China, Dubai and USA have built marvellous sky scrapers which is an unbelievable dream for an ancient man. In these cases keeping the traditional skills in practice seems unnecessary.
For some people keeping their traditions alive carries a special meaning to them. People in certain countries, for instance, still like to buy hand-made items: sweater, shoes, hats and pots. These items are considered very special as they represent the old traditions of that community.
Overall, the effect of technology on traditional ways of life varies from one domain of life to another. Certain skills are needed to be replaced by inventions, while others could be supported in a productive way.
Article 2
Technology in this era has produced a drastic change in the lifestyle of a common man.Not only it has created loads of new opportunities for skilled professionals but it has also made our lives a lot easier.
Traditional skills and ways of life has its own charm and beauty but as metamorphosis produces changes, time on its course brings changes which should be accepted and adapted wholeheartedly.
Stress and busy schedule in life has compelled us to go to modern ways and new technology.
For example,people used to crush spices,herbs,medicines and condiments on mortar and pestle and it used to take days. Its a matter of seconds now with the invention of blender and mixer machines.Handicapped people used to walk on crutches but now electronic wheel chairs are available.The better the technology,the lesser the hassle.Baking and cooking used to consume so much time in burning wood,mixing n grinding stuff which has now lessened to a few hours due to stoves and electronic ovens.
People used to ride on horses and caravans and took weeks to go from one place or country to another.This dilemma was resolved by the invention of cars and now there are bullet trains which have revolutionized journey of hours into minutes.There are innumerable reasons in which we can see that technology has made our lives easier and we should favour and adapt to make our lives comfortable and easier.
Article 3
I am in consummate accord with this statement . Progress of any country depends on its technology and all developed countries have modern technology so we have a strong reason to believe.
It is the modern technology of a country that makes it powerful. A nation can compete with others on the behalf of its technology , because it has played a valueable role in making it strong. It is the technology that has made our lives very easy, we can travel and communicate very quickly that was a major problem in the past. We can reach from one country to another just in hours and it was just a dream before. Other devices that r products of technology i.e mobile phones, internet , means of transportation and even household machinery have made our lives so easy . By and large now we can't even think to live a luxurious life without the use of advanced technology. For example, now if we want to travel abroad we can book our ticket online from home or workplace, but just few eras back you can't think of it, you had to take off from job and then you were able to collect information regarding traveling and ticket all that.
On the other hand many commentators are of the view that customs n traditional values are identity of a nation, yes true but in this way you can just keep your values alive not even think to run in the race of progress with other nations that are following up to date modes of technology. Because there is huge difference between a letter and email .
On balance , I tend to believe that if we want to progress we have to adopt modern ways of technology.
Article 4
In today's world technology is a necessity without which we will fall behind other nations.The development of new technologies has revolutionized the whole world.
Technology has helped humans in all aspects of living from communication to transportation,to food production housing and recreation. Although technology has helped mankind tremendously through ages,yet it may be the cause of slow death of the old traditions and cultures.
For example the threaters and jatras have been replaced by modern cinemas,puppet shows have been replaced by animation movies etc. Another of the negative side effects is that small cottage industries and local cultures tends to die out due to massive evolution of technologies and industries However,the old methods of expressing creativity might die but human creativity itself will never die.hence creativity will be expressed in different ways through modern technology.
As the age proceeds and the world gross larger its important to make room for the new development which has a benefit on larger scale.
When technology grows it helps in the simultaneous growth of the industries,helps in increasing productivity and thus meeting the demands of the huge population of today's world. According to me humans will always try to keep their cultures intact as it is associated with their identities. Since the advantages of technology outnumbers those of the traditional methods my personal sentiments are on par with the idea that it is pointless to hold on the traditional methods in this new era of evolving technology.
Article 5
Technology has paved the way to the horizons of new developments. Such developments have produced an immense influence in our daily lives. Besides, these have also taken over various traditional skills that once considered to be a symbol of a certain country.
I am of the opinion that almost all technological advancements are in the best interest of people for various reasons.
For instance shopping is deemed to be an essential and the most entertaining part of a woman’s life. But sometimes hectic schedule and responsibilities towards household chores and children have all made it a difficult task. On-line shopping has solved the problem and it has proved to be less time consuming and cost effective as well. This is just an example out of many that clearly demonstrates the wonders of technology.
Furthermore, implementation of technological advancements has changed the way of delivering education altogether. Lectures are prepared on multimedia that not only aid teacher to accomplish his job but also give better understanding to students. In addition, those who study at home can find a Range of on-line books and lectures and hence enjoy the fruit of technology.
Nevertheless it does not mask the charm and importance of traditional ways in many countries. Such as handicrafts are quite popular in northern areas of Pakistan. People visiting from across the country and from different parts of the world show interest in hand made clothes, scarves, shoes etc and buy them for their loved ones.
In conclusion,whether technology is a blessing or curse sparks a debate but I firmly believe that it has certainly changed our lives and way of thinking.
