When technology advances, traditional skills and lifestyles become not necessary. Some people argue that keeping these traditions is useless because they no longer play an important role in daily life. However, I disagree with this view.
Some may argue that old skills are no longer needed if technology develops. For example, we can now communicate with others via smartphones or store information on laptops, so old skills such as handwriting skills have become less important. Similarly, farming by hand or sewing clothes manually is not efficient because modern machines can do the same work much faster. From this point of view, keeping these traditional skills seems unnecessary.
On the other hand, I believe that traditional skills and ways of life are still relevant in today's society, both culturally and practically. Traditional skills and ways of life represent the nation’s identity. Traditions such as music or handcrafts help people stay connected to the past and allow future generations to learn about them. Otherwise, society may lose its uniqueness in a globalised world. From a practical standpoint, traditional methods are still useful today. For instance, organic farming are more eco-friendly than modern farming and also supports healthier diets. Another example is that handmade products are often durable than mass-produced goods. These examples show that old skills can still relevant in today's society.
In conclusion, while some people argue that traditional skills are no longer needed, I believe that they are still necessary. They protect cultural identity and also provide practical benefits.

As nations advance technologically, traditional skills and lifestyles tend to fade. While some may hold the view that sustaining these traditions is pointless since they no longer contribute to everyday life, I disagree with this opinion.
Some argue that adhering to outdated skills or lifestyles is meaningless because technology continues to transform our daily lives. Now that we can communicate instantly through smartphones or store information digitally, skills such as handwriting and calligraphy seem less relevant today. In addition, many aspects of traditional life, such as farming by hand or weaving clothes manually, appear impractical in an era where modern machines have largely superseded them. From this perspective, maintaining these practices may be seen as unnecessary or inefficient.
However, I believe that preserving traditional skills and ways of life still holds great value, both culturally and practically. From a cultural perspective, they represent a nation’s identity and heritage. Practices such as traditional music, dance, or indigenous crafts enable people to remain connected to their history and pass it on to future generations. Without them, societies risk losing their distinctive identity in an increasingly globalised world. On a practical level, many traditional skills also provide sustainable alternatives to modern technology. For example, organic farming techniques not only have a smaller environmental impact than industrialised mass production but also encourage healthier lifestyles. In addition, handmade products, albeit less efficient to produce, often last longer and generate less waste compared with mass-produced goods. These examples demonstrate that seemingly outdated skills are not only symbolic but also capable of addressing contemporary challenges.
In conclusion, although some may claim that technological development reduces the need for traditional practices, this view is unconvincing. Such traditions enrich cultural identity and offer practical solutions to modern problems, and therefore deserve to be preserved alongside technological progress.
