Technology is the device by which man progressively masters his natural environment. Since the early ages, man has been fascinated with converting nature to our own benefice in order to expand our horizons. Technology today has become an essential part of our day to day lives. Even Jonneth Kennedy describes man as "still the most extraordinary computer of all". This technological based world has created dependence, somehow, between countries globally and thus, has created a sort of global unity disregarding individual cultures. Although this advancement in the technological ladder has brought about many advantages, it simultaneously creates a distance between different communities with their traditions and values, as well as a disintegration of human values and ethics.
             Taking a positive outlook, one must admit that technology has allowed man to become superior to all his fellow creatures. It has a civilizing aspect to it, where man is able, by using his mind, to create great things. Almost our whole world is highly dependent on the technological devices that we have created, varying from a simple radio to a highly developed nuclear device. These devices have created an interchange and awareness between different cultures. A perfect example of this would be the Internet. Millions of users all over the world have access to the Internet. These users are able to communicate with people all over the world. This communication has eliminated differences between cultures and has allowed for a better understanding between different communities.
             However, it is also evident that with the build up of technology, traditions and values gradually disintegrate. The youth are subjected to the same information all over the world and therefore, adapt the same habits and ideology. Although, technology creates a blending of cultures, it also creates a breaking down of the term 'culture' itself.
