It is inevitable that as technology develops so traditional cultures must be lost. Technology and tradition are incompatible‐ you cannot have both together. To what extent do you agree with this view? It is undeniable that technological developments strongly affect the ways and quality of life that consequently can influence on tradition. However, it should be mentioned that the traditions that are rooted in people's origins never change and they it can co‐exist with technology in harmony. By developing technology, tools which serve to humans are enhanced to facilitate their lives and subsequently help them to establish deep‐rooted and valuable customs. For example with by advancements in communication, forgotten recognized traditions, which have scattered around the world, are revived and regenerate. For example "Norouz" ceremony that celebrates the beginning of the spring only had been held in Iran while nowadays due to virtual communication it has becomes well‐known around the world. Abolishment of some traditional cultures shouldn't be linked to technological improvement. Japan is a vivid example of a developed country that still preserves its traditional culture. As time passes due to easily easy access to the Internet that informs and educates individuals some biased customs are doomed to lose since they make people's life miserable namely circumcising women. People are trained to make distinction between partial and impartial believes that are wrongly linked to the traditional culture and technology which render to broadening their horizon. In sum, tradition is like a flowing river that is transfered from one generation to the next and it seems not only does not the technology not lead to customs death die out but also reinforces them especially long‐established ones. Moreover, the effect of technological developments on traditional methods cannot be significant, because, new technologies are modified traditional styles such as food production.
