Overwhelmed by the tide of technology, our daily life has been deeply changed compare to lives decades ago. Technology not only brings us convenience and efficiency but also influences, sometimes even determines our customs and ethics. But the deeply rooted culture has also affected the development of technologies.   


To start with, the worldwide influence coming from technologies has greatly affected our customs and ethics. Since the advanced technologies of communication, transportation and entertainment reshaped people's daily life. One example would be Chinese wedding nowadays, the bridegroom , instead of joining a group of people carrying a sedan seat to the bride's home to pick up her as his grandfather did, would seat with the bride on an automobile traveling around in the city. Besides, the change of ethics also occurred at the same time. For instance, before we have radio, television and internet, knowledge is mainly passed down from the old generation to the new one. So the authority of old is unbreakable. However, after the boom of technologies, the ocean of knowledge pours down to the young people and let them know much more about the world , even more than their parents and grandparents. Thus, the authority of the old is threatened and evitable conflict between the old and the young are more and more common.


Moreover, some technologies even determine parts of the customs and ethics. Computer games, social networks based on the internet have formed a kind of cyber culture. People who have a second life in the virtual world gradually have their own festivals and customs. For example, guilds created by those players in the network games require its members to be on-line periodically and have a strict hierarchy system and a common goal. Nevertheless, even if technologies can determine some parts of the customs and ethics, most of the tradition and moral stander would not easily be challenged.


On the other hand, customes and ethics decide the direction of technical development most of the time. Medical and biological research used to make experiments on wild animals such as mice, rabbits and monkeys without restriction. Some researches were cruel and made these animals suffered a lot. When the information gradually heard by the majority which share a common belief that we should treat other animals on this planet well, opponents made the government place strict restrictions that prevent animals from suffering on the animal-involved experiments. Therefore, the customs and ethics are actually guiding the development of technologies to the direction that is consistent with the moral stander of humanity.


To sum up, technologies have influences on and even determine some of our customs and ethics. But most of moral standers in the real world actually affect and guide the development of technologies. The ultimate purpose of technology is severing for the human beings' benefits and the development of technologies should always under the supervising of the majority.
