Do you realize that our society has been influenced by Information Technology? Yah, that’s the reality about our society now. IT has been reached without knowing the social variances, religion thus culture. In few past decades; there has been a revolution in communication and technology. We can see social’s change among society has been changing paradigm which growing in community; taboo, for instance. The indigenous people who never touch information from outside will keep continue their taboo without knowing what happens if they don’t do it and it is contradiction with indigenous people who get the information from outside, they will realize that what they are doing is wrong. By the end of it, especially youth, they “don’t” obey the taboo itself; we can see how important information it is.
Information technology also could make people connecting each other and make own world. Information technology can reduce the important of distance; as such e-commerce, health service, social networking. The customers don’t need to go to the shop which far away from home and just check via internet and the items will be at home soon. In the other case, if they have family from different region they still can keep connecting feel like face-to-face. But the other hands, it doesn’t mean that IT can keep us safe, development of information technology could increase the crime problem as well and be aware of it.
No matter in the religion, information technology has same role about changing the perception of community in religion side. People finding the information about their religion and maybe they want to find information about the other religions too. But the other hand, too much information about religion in internet and lacking knowledge of own religion, make people could be secular or atheist. Once they find article about “Mother is giving us a birth” they will realize that there is no God, because those type of people is lack of information because too much information. In this problem, I think we have to know what Information Literacy means is.
What about the vision of one laptop per child? What is your opinion?
Maybe we have heard about this news, the government provides a laptop per child to assure and to make a country’s dream comes true about truly education. I think it is one of the best solutions to educate their people as function of nation for. But we have to consider several problems that it may happen if the government should establish their plan. Currently, I am in Malaysia to study, as I know from Malaysian students, Kerajaan (Government) provides netbook ‘small laptop’ to SPM students which a level before university course.
We know that the Malaysia’s population is not much as Indonesia’s population which more than 250 hundreds million people. And the student who study in high school still much than here, and how Indonesian’s government control their amount budget about providing laptop per child instead of simple problems have not been solved yet. I don’t want to talk about corruption among people ‘somewhere’ there who take care of this plan; of course all country will have the same problem. On the other hands, the sentence of ‘per child’ it is quite attracting people who want more about money. They will produce more children because of laptop; I knew this news from TV news presently. I know this article may make the readers have dilemma to understand but it is my opinion and it is also because of many Information that I have read through internet Technology. Any matter how we face with it, just to remember to take the positive side :) :) Thank you.
