IT Developments in Indonesia
Information Technology is a technology used to process the data, the processing, obtain, compile, store, manipulate data in different ways to produce quality information. information that is intended is accurate, relevant, and timely, which can be used for personal, business, and government. This information should also strategic value so that it can be used in decision making.
Today the role of IT in human keidupan is increasingly important. Because along with the development of the IT man did a lot of work in front of a computer or by using a cell phone for communication. With the advances in technology make it easier for humans and serasadunia work in our grasp. In addition, the development of IT is also very fast, so it must always follow its development.
The development of information technology in Indonesia is strongly influenced by the ability of the human resources in understanding the components of information technology (hardware, software, computer network systems, and telecommunications systems). To build IT facilities, Indonesia still relies heavily on investors.
If we make the chronology of the development of IT in Indonesia from ancient times to the prediction of IT development in Indonesia, among others:
1. The initial generation of Information Technology.
In Indonesia, in the past, long-distance communication is done by correspondence. Although there is no postal system, but mail delivery system has been in place for decades. Tknologi information system in Indonesia began to experience growth in 1855, or precisely on October 23, 1855 when the Dutch government opened the first telegraph line in Indonesia. Since then, the telegraph have been widely used in Indonesia.
On October 16, 1882, local telephone networks were first used in Indonesia by a private party that gets the concession for 25 years. Since then, the companies began popping up telephone network in Indonesia. However, in the early days of this, companies are only open telephone line in big cities only. In 1906, the government took over and monopolize all the corporate telephone network, the telephone network except Keretea Fire Company Deli. In 1967, the telecommunications company successfully completed the construction of telecommunications networks archipelago that includes the Sumatra project microwaves, and microwaves across eastern Indonesia. On July 9, 1976, Indonesia launched a satellite then palapa. And began a new round of development of information technology in Indonesia is very fast moving and rapidly since the launch of this satellite.
Indonesia began to recognize the Internet in the 1990s. Internet users in Indonesia in 1988 using CIX (England) and Compurserve (US) to access the Internet. Internet is also increasingly being used currently and is growing by leaps and bounds.
2. Information technology today.
Today, we have entered the era of globalization with the development of information technology is very rapid. In Indonesia the information from different parts of the world can be accessed quickly and easily. The internet facility has changed the paradigm of society became more modern and practical. Internet is now more easily accessible. In addition to the cafe facilities more and more, people are also able to access the Internet via a PC or laptop at home, or to take advantage of hotspots, or even using a phone. Not only that, the internet has been used as a medium of learning, business, military, and various other fields. The Indonesian government has made the internet as an important part in many fields. By utilizing the Internet, Indonesia has taken a step forward to further developing and developed in the future.
3. Information Technology in the future.
Seeing the development of information technology, various predictions about the development of technology more and more expressed. But, of course, there are various factors that will influence the development of the information technology. Either support or inhibit the perkambangan. Things such as the government's financial capability and affordability of remote areas will greatly affect the development of the information technology. In the past, it has been a lot of figures that express predictions about the development of information technology. As what was said Mason R. (1994) who found the future of education will be determined by the information network that allows interaction and collaboration, rather than the school building. However, technology will continue to widen the gap between rich and poor in. Or thing expressed by Tony Bates (1995) that technology can improve the quality and range when used wisely for education and training, and has great significance for the economic well-being. What is clear, whatever happens, information technology will still be an important part in human life. In Indonesia in particular, in all corners of the world in general.
Lately, the role of IT in transportation services even been able to feel. For example, the existence of a special card issued by some private banks that can be used to pay tolls, buy fuel, busway ticket purchase and train.
In the world of education, especially at the college level, the use of IT is realized in a system called electronic university (e-University). This development was carried out in support of education, so as to provide better information for the community, both within and outside the university via the internet. Exemplarily other educational services that can be implemented by means of the Internet by providing online course materials and the course material can be accessed by anyone who is in need.
With the rapid development of IT, should also be balanced with awareness for the use of IT for the benefit of a positive. Therefore, not a few IT experts who use it for evil. Many porn sites are more intense circulation. Another example is the "fever" friendship sites are often misused. Until the purchase transaction girl through cyberspace. It certainly can affect the development of children and youth in our country. And the need for supervision of the competent authority that the negative impact of IT can be reduced. Because teens are now inclined to use technology in a negative direction, and it caused their souls are still unstable and the need for educators and mentors to steer them in the right direction so that we can promote Indonesia in the future.
Many of the benefits that I can feel with the development of IT including help me in doing assignments, easily transfer money, add friends through social networks, to communicate very easily and quickly. Moreover, with the development of IT, it can promote the economy of Indonesia, there are now also online business, transactions over the internet, as well as many other benefits.
Similarly, descriptions of the author of the IT developments in Indonesia and the chronology of its development and also reviews the positive and negative impacts of future IT developments on the progress of the Indonesian nation.
