A lot of people say about the effects of technology on communication.

Technology is an important thing in people’s life and it clearly helps us to adapt with the period of development. I disagree with an opinion that, when technology develops in a country, the traditional skills disappear. There are two reasons that I will describe related to this case; which is traditional skills can combine with technology and traditional skills still have a great position in order to technological development.

On the one hand, traditional skill is the heritage from our ancestor. So we have responsibilities to take care for it. The development of technology is huge advantages for ‘traditional skills’. Using the technology we can improve these skills and while trying to introduce new innovations to combine technology and traditional skills. For instance, ‘hand art painting’ is one of the traditional skills, people can make a new creation by using technology touching use ‘Photoshop’. The combination between hand art painting and Photoshop software will be a great innovation. People can create great works and earn a lot by doing this.

On another hand, although the technology is developing sharply, the traditional skill used products are still having a high position in the marketing field. For example, Indonesian traditional stuff namely ‘Songket’ is still creating great improvement in the sale. In my hometown, an industrial Songket factory, in the end of 2014, received order 2000 to 3000 pieces ‘songket’ stuff from some country including USA, Italy, Japan and Vietnam. It proofs that traditional products still stand up till now.

To sum up, traditional skills are still alive though the technology is increased dramatically. It still has a special place in people’s life. Also, traditional skills’ popularity will increase if people try to combine both traditional skills and technology.

. People use computers when they work, go banking or everywhere, but some argue that it will make people isolated and decrease their social skills.

In this century, computers are considered as the most revolutionary invention for the development of human beings. However, there are some people concerned about the complexity and stressful that come along with the computer using. Personally, I am in favour of the view that the high-tech products bring people more convenience and much easier life.
 Granted, the unhealthy use of computers like indulgence in computer games and the illegal use like hackers and cyber crimes make the living surroundings more complex and even stressful. Nevertheless, no garden without weed, it is the computers that enhance our communication, facilitate daily work and study, and lower the living cost.
When it comes to the benefits computers bring about, at least three obvious aspects should be mentioned. Firstly, as a way of telecommunication, no one can deny that computers enhance the interaction between people. Specifically, compared with traditional letters and telegraphs, emails and online chatting allow overseas students contact with their parents in a more timely and easy manner without considering the geographic limitations. Secondly, proper using of computers improves the efficiency of both work and study since the internet helps to get access to numerous information and knowledge that no professionals or teachers could provide during their whole lifetime. Lastly, from the perspective of family budgets, PCs contribute largely to lower the living cost and improve the life quality. The main reason given for this is that after checking and comparing prices online, the users can always choose the most economical products.

To conclude, although computers exert some undesirable effects on the society, they are still the undeniable contributor in making  our daily life easier and more convenient.
