Before the Industrial Revolution, work typically followed a household model, clearly separating
work and leisure spaces. In today's society, driven by ongoing advancements in information
technology, the line between work and leisure has blurred. People now find themselves informally
working or holding informal meetings almost anywhere, which diminishes the sanctity of
holidays. Additionally, commercialization has stripped traditional holidays of their original
meaning and value. In our consumer-driven society, businesses view festivals primarily as tools for
promotion and marketing, resulting in the gradual erosion of their true essence and significance.
As technology has advanced, people have become increasingly reliant on virtual social networks
and entertainment, reducing real-world interactions and celebratory activities. The impact
of a spectacle-driven society has made individuals prioritize appearances and displays, often
overlooking the vital role holidays play in fostering social cohesion and identity. The excessive
pursuit of virtual recognition has turned holidays into superficial showcases, overshadowing
genuine social and emotional connections. These factors collectively contribute to the gradual
disappearance of festivals.
