Advancement of science and technology can not be separated from the institution. Where in the 20th century the role of science and technology is meant for educational institutions. So that by the 20th century to encourage more rapid in the industry. Information, communication, transportation and agriculture.
Development of science and technology in Indonesia lags far and very alarming than European countries and the United States even also in Asian countries such as Japan and China. This is because:
Indonesia has limited people who received western education, especially higher education.
Lack of willingness from the government and private companies in Indonesia to conduct technology experts
The absence of meaningful technological innovations within the Indonesian community itself, science and technology in Indonesia began to develop in which the marked view of universities and research centers such as the institution of science (LIPI) and also loss assessment and application of technology (BPPT)
Reality is concerned it is not visible from several areas of science and technology achievements that have been achieved such as the discovery of the application of DNA technology, superior pemuan rice seedlings, pemuan vector field of plate motion rate of acceleration technology, building design aircraft pilotely remotely piloted vehicle, obtain international awards fellowships L'oreal -UNESCO for woman in science, got a gold medal at internasiaonal exhibition of new invention and peroduct techninique first to obtain the Nobel prize in physics high school level, until a new nutritional findings that called saputra, which is all that needs to be thankful for. But concerns arose that the movement of the impact of science and technology development is not a straight line view of the creator of public welfare within the framework of national science and technology policy,
Positive impact of science and technology development
1. Provides various convenience
The development of science and technology can assist humans in their activities. Particularly those associated with industrial activities and telecommunications. However, the impact of science and technology development also resulted into various things like farming, which used to plow their fields using traditional tools, now use the equipment mesin.sehingga planting activities can be more quickly carried on without taking a long time and did not really need the power a lot. This is a small example of a positive effect in helping the development of science and technology in human activity in everyday life.
2. Facilitate the spread of information
The information is very important to us, where we will be completely without information ketinggaln. especially when a variety of print and electronic media is growing rapidly. This forced us to inevitably have to be and always get different information. In the old days, the activities of news delivery is very slow, it is in because such activities are still done traditionally either verbally or by letter. But now this kind of activity is almost extinct, where the development of science and technology has changed everything, and we do not have to wait long to send or receive news.
3. Increased knowledge and insight
First computer including a highly advanced type of equipment, where only certain people who can afford it let alone use it. But along with the science and technology, electronic equipment such as computers, internet, and mobile (Hp) has become the object of mushrooming. Where not only certain people are able to use it, even children under umurpun can use it. This is the positive influence the development of science and technology in the era of globalization of knowledge and insight of our society.
Negative impacts of science and technology development
1. Affect the pattern of thinking
Indonesian society is a society that aggressive and curious and like with anything new. Especially with the various changes in the various electronic equipment. But apparently these developments not only impact on the thinking patterns of children, also have an impact on the thinking of adults and the elderly. Moreover every day our society is presented with a variety of broadcasts is less useful than the electronic media sharing.
2. The loss of traditional culture
With the establishment of a variety of luxury buildings such as malls, hotels etc., resulting in the loss of traditional culture such as that used in the trading activity is more known as a traditional market is now turned into a modern market. So also to the association of children and adolescents who now leads to promiscuity.
3. Many cause various damages
Indonesia is known as a country rich in natural resources, but until recently, Indonesia is more known as a country that is developing and evolving knows how long. And we also do not know when the term developing country is turned into a developed country. One example is a little more specific about a few years ago under the year 2004, the city of Pekanbaru is located in Riau province, better known as a city of "A Thousand Forests", but in a relatively short time, the term a thousand forests has now turned into The more modern term, the city of "A Thousand Shop" where in a short time, the development progress in this city very, very rapidly. Mulaialah up various industrial activities, Hospitality, Mal, and buildings and terraced housing stands where the traditional lame-mana.akibatnya activities, deforestation is causing so many different kinds of disasters such as floods, landslides and pollution happens everywhere. This impact must be received our society to the children and grandchildren.
With the growing berkembangannya science and technology in Indonesia, then informas, as well as communications in Indonesia were already developed. In the era of globalization at the present time, we must come to know and understand the various developments of science and technology, but still much less understand the development of science and technology. In the long run, development science and technology provide a very positive sense, but on the other hand, some may bring negative impacts.
