    The South is going to change. As Professor Reed stated in his lecture, many of the negative associations with the South such as poverty and racial discrimination are diminishing. We can only hope this trend will continue. On the other hand, we should work to preserve our cultural heritage as technology and development move forward in our region. Instead of looking at new technology as a threat to our heritage, perhaps we should use the increased communication capabilities to share ideas faster than ever before. Change is not always evil. Try to look at the advantages, as well as the disadvantages, of new concepts.
