Overall,Idisagreewiththeopinionexpressed.Iwouldliketobeginbypointingoutthat‘traditionalskillsandwaysoflife’arenotautomaticallyofonecountry,butofacultureorcommunity.34

Inmanyways,thehistoryofcivilizationinthehistoryoftechnology:

fromthediscoveryoffiretotheinventionofthewheeltothedevelopmentoftheInternet,wehavebeenmovingonfrompreviouswaysofdoingthings.Sometechnologies,suchasweaponsofmassdestruction,areofnegativeimpact.Others,suchasmedicaladvances,positivelyhelppeopletolivebetterorlonger,andsoverymuchhelptraditionalwaysoflife.Surely,fewpeoplewouldseektopreservesuchtraditionsaslivingincaves.  87

Interestingly,technologycanpositivelycontributetothekeepingaliveoftraditionalskillsandwaysoflife.Forexample,thepopulationsofsomeislandsaretoosmalltohavenormalschools.Ratherthanbreakingupfamiliesbysendingchildrentothemainland,educationauthoritieshavebeenabletousetheInternettodeliverschoolingonline.Inaddition,theInternet,andmodernrefrigerationtechniques,arebeingusedtokeepalivethetraditionalskillsofproducingsalmon;itcannowbeorderedfrom,anddeliveredto,anywhereintheworld.  87
