The role of IT is increasingly important at this time because we've entered the era of information (information age) Information The technology is a technology used for data processing, including processing, obtain, compile, store, manipulate data in different ways to produce quality information, ie information that is relevant, accurate and timely, which is used for personal, business, and government and is a strategic information for decision making. This technology uses a computer to process the data, the network system to connect one computer to another computer as needed, and telecommunications technology is used so that the data can be distributed and accessed globally.
Information technology plays a role in many areas, among others:
The field of education (e-education).
Globalization trends have triggered a shift in education from conventional education face to face in the direction of a more open education (Mukhopadhyay M., 1995). As an example we look at the French project "Flexible Learning‿. This is reminiscent of Ivan Illich forecast early 70s on "Education without school (Deschooling Socieiy)" which is the extreme teachers no longer needed.
Bishop G. (1989) predicted that the future of education will be supple (flexible), open, and accessible to anyone that needs regardless of the type of factors, age, and previous educational experiences.
It can be concluded that with the influence of globalization, the future of education will be open and two-way, diverse, multidisciplinary, and work productivity related to "when it juga‿ and competitive.
Trend of education in Indonesia in the future are:
- Development of open education by distance learning mode (Distance Learning). Ease to organize open and distance education should be included as a key strategy.
- Resource sharing among agencies of education / training in network
- Libraries and other educational instruments (teacher, lab) changed into a source of information rather than a bookshelf.
- The use of interactive information technology devices, such as CD-ROM Multimedia, in education gradually replace TV and video.
With the development of information technology in education, so when it is already possible to place a distance learning using the internet to connect between students and lecturers, see the value of online students, financial checks, view class schedules, send the tasks assigned faculty and so on, all of it has to do.
In the Government Sector (e-government).
E-government refers to the use of information technology by the government, such as the use of the intranet and the Internet, which has the ability to connect the purposes of residents, businesses, and other activities. Can a business transaction process between the public and the government through system automation and internet networks, more commonly known as the world wide web. At the core of e-government is the use of information technology can improve the relationship between the government and other parties. use of information technology is then produced new forms such relation: G2C (Governmet to Citizen), G2B (Government to Business) and G2G (Government to Government).
Benefits of e-government can be felt include:
(1) The service of better service to the community. Information can be provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without having to wait for the opening of the office. Information can be sought from the office, home, without having to physically come to the government offices.
(2) the improvement of the relationship between government, business, and the general public. Openness (transparency) it is expected that the relationship between the various parties would be better. This openness eliminate suspicion and resentment on all sides.
(3) Empowering communities through information that is easily obtained. With sufficient information, the public will learn to be able to make their choice. For example, data about the school: the number of classes, student capacity, the passing grade, and so on, can be displayed online and used by parents to choose the right school for their children.
(4) The implementation of a more efficient government. For example, the coordination of government can be done through e-mail or even video conferencing. For Indonesia, the area is very large, it is very helpful. Debriefing, coordination, discussion among local leaders can do without all must be at the same physical location. No longer any need to fly to Jakarta for a meeting that lasted only one or two hours.
Finance and Banking
We have many economic actors, especially in the big cities that no longer use cash in payment transactions, but have used modern banking services.
Modern banking services are only available in big cities is understandable because of the current economic growth is still concentrated in large cities only, which causes the velocity of money is also concentrated in the big cities. So the banking sector was rather slow in its expansion into the regions. This is somewhat due to the current state of infrastructure in addition to the geographical aspects of Indonesia's unique and extensive.
To support the successful operations of a financial institution / bank such as banks, certainly needed a reliable information system that can be easily accessed by customers, which in turn will depend on the technology of information online, for example, a customer can withdraw money wherever it is located as long as no ATM service from the bank, or a customer can check balances and transfer money to another account in a matter of minutes, all transactions can be done.
Telematics technology and infrastructure development in Indonesia will greatly help the development of this industry in the financial sector, such as the expansion of the scope of business by opening branches in the area, as well as the exchange of information among insurance companies, brokerage, banking, and other financial institutions.
Banking and financial institutions have been strongly influenced by the development in information technology products, even they can not operate again without the information technology. This sector requires the development of products in information technology to deliver their services to their customers.
Generation - Generation Computers
Computers that we find today is actually the development and refinement of the previous generation komputer2, calculations are automatically performed and was asked in 1812 by the English mathematician, Babbage auries. One machine that was created is the diference Engine, which is a forerunner to the computer meisn known at this time, the machine is used for mathematical calculations Table 2.
The first generation (1945-1959)
designed by Prof. Dr. John watcly and prospects Ecker computer is ENIAC (Elektronic numenal's calculator)
removed from the vacuum tube electronics devices (Vacuum tube) with Segal shortcomings are physically large but very slow in processing the data, produced by Ibni Burrugis, RCA and hengwell
The second generation (1959-1965)
Beginning with the discovery of small-sized transistors instead of vacuum tubes with a much larger capacity, although physically small, this kind of computer is the IBM 1400 series, 7070, 1600, and UNIVAC horewell
The third generation (1965-1973)
With the technological advances in the field of electronics, experts have been able to integrate a number of series transistors in the form of small chips
The fourth generation (1973-1978)
Experts remind teknologi2 a number of electronic circuits which can diintregaikan preformance chip form
The fifth generation (1978-present)
Computers today is rapidly developing as the development of science and technology industry
Progress to Laptop Computers
The use of computers among households, offices and schools called the PC (Personal Computer).
Then evolved many computers began to be used to the size that can be placed on top of a table (Desktop Computer).
This development is not just enough to get there emerged was a portable computer (laptop) computers that can be taken anywhere just by putting it in a bag.
This development is a microprocessor-based development. Many vendors are developing to create new processors that have a faster kinnerja namely IBM, Intel, Cyrix, and AMD.
This development is also accompanied by developments in software like operating systems and applications. Banya network-based operating systems and multimedia.
With the development of computer makes absolutely mushroomed among the people of the world, both for personal and work world. In fact, to meet the growing needs of people, this time the computer has been developed in the direction of Mobile Computing such as handheld computers.
