Last week, my family and I took a trip up to Park City to explore the streets there a bit. For some reason, I always was annoyed when I visited Park City, or any other city/town that hasn't done much to keep up with the times.
As I walked up and down the streets observing each building I passed, I noticed they all were old, and not up to date with technology. I asked myself 'Why hold onto your past? Sooner or later people are going to lose interest.'
Now don't get me wrong, I appreciate history and everything that we can learn from it, but trying to hold onto it won't do any good. I'm all about advancing towards the future. If you dawdle around putting your history on a pedestal without paying attention to the future, the future will either force you to avert your attention, or will conquer you. What I mean by that is, if you own a farm, and harvest your crops with a scythe, you'll be a lot slower then a combine, and eventually you'll go out of business or have to update your methods.
Or, if you're country ignores technology and does everything the old fashioned way, a more advanced country is going to come in a dominate you. Whoever has the latest toys, whoever has the better evolved methods, whoever has the faster production rates will be dominate in any time.

i really liked what you said about when another country takes over when yours is not good enough.
but still destroing everything old is not good. because not everyone knows about the past, right??
leaving a little or museums and stuff like that is the best, right?
