This essay will discuss it further. Ċ Some people think that digital stuff gives bad impacts to the culture, since it may change the custom and heritage. From my point of view, technology can bring benefit to the cultures such as documenting the social life of culture, which future residents are able to watch that. This is backed up by the research from Kyoto University that some heritage and traditional people's life was recorded to be documenter movie. Some temples and statue were also preserved by using sophisticated technology during maintained the purity and were provided to tourists to know their culture.
