In recent years, technology has emerged as a powerful ally in the quest to preserve cultural heritage. Digital tools and platforms offer innovative ways to document, share, and engage with cultural artifacts and traditions, making them accessible to a global audience. From digitizing ancient manuscripts and artifacts to virtual reality tours of historical sites and interactive databases of traditional music and dances, technology bridges the gap between the past and the present. It ensures that the richness of culture is not locked away in archives but is a living, breathing part of contemporary society. Moreover, technology facilitates the active participation of communities in the preservation process, democratizing the effort and instilling a collective sense of responsibility toward safeguarding cultural heritage.
