Technology has brought changes to our daily life style from art, music, clothing, eating habits to the way of celebrating festivals. People now use every kind of comfort they wish such as furniture, cloths, entertainment such as T.V, telephone; computer etc. Orthodox in traditional thinking has been replaced by wider outlooks. After the improvement in information technology and transport facility, people can feel and see the culture and traditions of another community far away from them and thus cultural and traditional activities of one place is easily transferred to other place. Also with the advent of newer technologies like more modern and sophisticated music instruments, the tradition ways of playing music and traditional instruments are all most becoming extinct. Similarly availability of modern world’s cooking appliances like microwave ovens, mixer grinders electric stoves are bringing about great changes in cooking styles and the type of food. Technology also played great role in changing women status in the society because women are now getting more job opportunities. It has also reduced superstitious beliefs and has relaxed the rigidity in caste and religion systems.
