Culture & Technology
What's the major difference between the two?
Culture sustains behaviour: Think of any festival customs of any origins.
Technology shapes and changes it: Think of any Apple products of the latest generation.
Which is more powerful?
It's like asking which is stronger: the spear or the shield?
In reality, it depends on which specific spear and which particular shield are in question. While Internet, digital information and mobile devices are changing music, reading and socializing habits, it's inconceivable that Lion Dance, Lai See or temple visits will ever be obliterated by any man-made invention to come.
But both culture and technology rest on the same generic psychic: well wishes for a better future.
Kung Hey Fat Choi! May the Metal Rabbit bring us an abundance of happy returns!
