"It has been often said that rapid technological change requires us to change our morals, customs, and institutions. This observation is believable only if we assume that humanity was made for the machine, not the machine for humanity. If anything, technological progress makes our sense of tradition more necessary than ever."
-Adapted from Karl Jahn, "Tradition and Progress"

In the above excerpt, Jahn argues that we do not have to change our traditions to keep pace with technological changes. To what extent do you agree or disagree with his position? Support your position with reasons and examples from your experience, reading and observations.

Ohhh. You better get rolling.

Well all humans universally want happiness, you can talk about how happiness being altered by technology. Oh... Kurt Vonnegut wrote a short story on a machine that creates happiness.... Can't remember it's name.... The Euphio or something like that?

You could talk about how our traditions (mainly our pursuit of happiness) will never change, but the path to achieve them will be altered. As in Euphio where the machine grants us happiness, instead of other times where other forms of entertainment enriched our lives to grant us happiness.

You can talk about religion even, talk about how religion in itself is (supposed) to be a path towards happiness and religion is still a widely held belief amongst people. Therefore technology cannot trump religion in our mindset.
