Does technology changes culture?
An informal interview
Florence Pierre-Louis, a senior at UF, in Microbiology Sciences, had no doubts about the answer to this question. In fact she answered it spontaneously and gave several examples as if she had thought of it many times.
For Florence there is no doubt that "technology takes away from culture." The main reason is that everything is done so fast today, that it has lost its essence. Take for example cooking, she said. If you cook in a 1, 2, 3, ("chop, chop, chop") the food will have no cultural content. It will be the same for all. Or, take for example the alarm clock; there is no more interaction with nature, no rooster waking you up, just the sound of an annoying alarm.
