Technology and culture

I write to say the influence of technology in the culture of my race. A lot of our olden day instruments are being replaced by hitech instruments. However there instruments do not produce and can not produce some peculiar sounds made by these old equipment. This in continual and if care is not taken we may loose these equipment to technology. I do not know how many countries that are loosing some unique part of their culture to technology. I feel the impact already.
