Abstract

Confronting today’s advancing technology and dominating Western values, the traditional culture has aroused numerous worries not only from the public, but also from the research field. To respond to the increasing demand for protecting conventional culture, governments worldwide have allocated incredible funds and experts to guard the indigenous culture. However, is the danger of losing the traditional culture being exaggerated to some degree? In this article, the answer is different from what we believed: In the future, the revival of traditional culture due to extreme nostalgia is expected when the most advanced technology is developed. As a result, today, there is too much panic about the disappearing conventional culture, which is unnecessary and a waste of government funds.
