The Interaction of Technology and Culture

The speaker contends that with the development of technology, our traditional cultures will evaporate. I concede that the rapid development of technology has already given our lifestyle a radical change and has made the abyss between our racial stripe and the assimilated world smaller and smaller. Beyond this concession, however, I find the speaker’s contention indefensible.
  Opposite to the speaker’s idea that technology and tradition are everything but compatible, I contend that traditional culture is like an impetus to science and technology. The story of Qian Xuesen “father of our rocket history,” is a persuasive example.Qian Xuesen’s wife is a musician who majors in traditional German music. However, the seemingly immense difference between science and art makes them much closer rather than alienated. “! get a much broader vision from the traditional German music,” Qian Xuesen told us, “and the help ! get from it to my scientific research is significant. ”
