Akinnawonu, Benson Monehin (Ph.D), Bolarinwa, O. F. Olwasegunota

Abstract
This paper examined the phenomenon of change from the background of the implications of science and technology to African traditional culture. The theoretical framework hinged on the assumption of the reality and necessity of the fundamental principle of change. The authors took a look at the aged-long Heraclites-Parmenides controversy over the reality of change and examined it within the context of the interplay between the growth of science and technology and its impact on African cultural development. The method of critical conceptual analysis was employed while the review of existing literatures on the subject provided the background to the paper. The paper concluded that the overwhelming impact of science and technology on African cultural development is a confirmation of the dynamism of culture, the necessity and the reality of the fundamental principle of change.
