Recently, the relationship between modern science and technology and traditional culture and technology has aroused public attention. Some people believe that traditional culture and technology will eventually be replaced by modern science and technology. In my opinion, while it is true that the development of modern science and technology has had an impact on traditional culture and technology, I believe that traditional culture and technology still have a place in our society and can coexist alongside modern science and technology.
As a matter of fact, many people still value the traditions and cultural practices of their ancestors. Many indigenous cultures have maintained their traditional ways of life, including their cultural practices, beliefs, and technologies, despite the advances in modern science and technology. These traditions are often seen as an important part of a person’s identity and are passed down from generation to generation. And many people appreciate the art and beauty of traditional cultural practices, such as traditional dance, music, and handicrafts, which cannot be replicated by modern technology.
Another reason for my argument is that traditional techniques often provide practical solutions to problems that modern technology cannot. Take some rural areas as an example, traditional farming techniques are still used there because they are more adapted to the local climate and conditions than modern industrial farming methods. In some cases, traditional technologies may be more sustainable and environmentally friendly than modern alternatives.
Overall, although modern science and technology have indeed improved people’s lives to a great extent, people still need traditional cultural technology so that it will not be completely replaced. We can accept the convenience brought by new science and technology, but we must take measures to protect traditional culture and technology.

最近,现代科学技术与传统文化科技之间的关系引起了公众的关注。有些人认为,传统文化科技最终会被现代科学技术所取代。在我看来,虽然现代科学技术的发展确实对传统文化科技产生了影响,但我认为,传统文化和技术在我们的社会中仍有一席之地,可以与现代科学技术并存。
事实上,许多人仍然重视他们祖先的传统和文化习俗。尽管现代科学和技术在不断进步,许多本土文化仍然保持着他们的传统生活方式,包括他们的文化习俗、信仰和技术。这些传统往往被视为一个人身份的重要组成部分,并被代代相传。而且许多人欣赏传统文化习俗的艺术和美感,如传统舞蹈、音乐和手工艺品,这些都是现代技术无法复制的。
我的另一个理由是,传统技术常常为现代技术无法解决的问题提供实用的解决方案。以一些农村地区为例,那里仍然使用传统的耕作技术,因为它们比现代工业耕作方法更适应当地的气候和条件。在某些情况下,传统技术可能比现代技术的替代方案更具有可持续性和环保性。
总的来说,虽然现代科学技术确实在很大程度上改善了人们的生活,但人们仍然需要传统的文化科技,因此它不会被完全取代。我们可以接受新科技带来的便利,但我们必须采取措施来保护传统文化科技。
