Culture is in constant flux. Sometimes this is beneficial as when minority groups become more incorporated and more powerful within a larger cultural system. Sometimes this can be negative, resulting in certain cultures dying out almost completely. Language is an essential part of culture. Please take a moment to listen to this NPR segment about how new technology is allowing many tribes and other cultural groups to digitally store and pass along dying languages: http://www.npr.org/player/v2/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=147809425&m=148927093. Can you think of ways in which this technology can be both harmful and beneficial? What are some ways technology can change other facets of culture like religion, education, or the economy?
