You might better ask, "Is traditional life finished?"

I'll tell you something. It is fairly much finished in the developed word, having been destroyed by consumerism and a barrage of commercialism which profit on the ephemeral and exploit the traditional only when they see a quick profit to be made thereby...and in the process, make traditional forms shallow, ephemeral, vulgar, and devoid of real meaning.

Traditional life is far from finished in the less developed world and the less affluent societies and communities on this planet where the old traditional values are still very strong.
