INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA


Evolution of the Global EconomyUp to two hundred years ago the world economy in which agriculture is one of the main features of the land is the most dominant factor of production. After the industrial revolution, with the invention of the steam engine, the global economy has evolved toward an industrial economy with its main characteristic is the capital as the most important production factor. Towards the turn of the century now inl, humans tend to occupy a central place in the production process, because the phase we are entering the economy is based on knowledge (knowledge based) and focuses on the information (information focused). In this case the role of telecommunications and informatics as a key technology (technology enablers). Advances in information technology and telecommunications so rapidly, thus enabling the implementation of new ways to more efficient production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. It is this process that brings people into the Society or Information Economy. The new society is also often referred to as the post industri.Apapun his name, in the information age, physical distance or geographical distance is no longer a factor in human relations or inter-agency effort, so that the universe is a universe of a village or a "Global village ‿. So often we hear the term "distance is dead" or "distance is dead" became more and more fulfilled.The Role of Information Technology

 
In our lives in the future, information technology and telecommunications sector is the most dominant sector. Anyone who mastered this technology, it will be a leader in the world. Information technology plays a role in many areas including:

 
-The field of education (e-education).

 
Globalization has sparked a trend shift in education from a conventional face to face education toward a more open education (M. Mukhopadhyay, 1995). As an example we look at the French project "Flexible Learning ‿. This is reminiscent of Ivan Illich forecast early 70's on "Education without schools (Deschooling Socieiy)" which the teacher is no longer extreme diperlukan.Bishop G. (1989) predicted that the future of education will be flexible (flexible), open and accessible to anyone who needs irrespective of the type of factors, age, and previous educational experience.

 
Mason R. (1994) argues that 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 the rich and the miskin.Tony Bates (1995) states that technology can improve the quality and range when used wisely for the education and training, and has great significance for the welfare ekonomi.Alisjahbana I. (1966) suggested that the approach to education and training will be "At that moment (Just on Time) ‿. New teaching techniques will be two-way, collaborative, and inter-disipliner.Romiszowski & Mason (1996) predicts the use of "Computer-based Multimedia Communication (CMC) that is synchronous and ‿ asinkron.Dari predictions and views of scholars can be concluded that with the influence of globalization, the future of education will be more open and two-way, diverse, multidisciplinary, and related to the productivity of labor "on the spot kompetitif.Kecenderungan ‿ and education in Indonesia in the future are: - The development of open education with learning mode distance (Distance Learning). Ease to conduct open and distance education should be included as a key strategy. - Sharing resources among institutions with education / training in a tissue-Library and other educational instruments (teachers, laboratory) changed into the source of information rather than a bookshelf. - The use of interactive information technology, such as CD-ROM Multimedia in education is gradually replacing the TV and Video.Dengan the development of information technology in education, so when it is already possible to place a distance learning using the internet media 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 that could have major dilakukan.Faktor in distance learning that is considered a problem is the lack of interaction between faculty and students. However, with the internet media is very possible to make the interaction between faculty and students both in the form of real time (real time) or not. In the form of real time can be done for example in a chatroom, a direct interaction with real audio or real video, and online meetings. That is not real time can be done with mailing lists, discussion groups, newsgroups, and bulletin board. By the way on the interaction of faculty and students in the class may be replaced, although not 100%. Other forms of matter, exams, quizzes and other educational means can also be implemented into the web, such as the material is made in the form of faculty presentations on the web and can be downloaded by students. Similarly, the exams and quizzes created by lecturers can also be done in the same way. Administrative settlement can also be solved directly in the registration process, let alone supported by the method of payment online.Suatu web-based distance education, among others, should have the following elements: (1) Center for student activities; as a web-based distance learning community must be able to This means making a place for student activities, where students can add capabilities, read the course material, searching for information and so on. (2) interaction in the group; The students can interact with each other to discuss the materials provided lecturers. Lecturers may be present in this group to give a little review of the material that it provides. (3) student administration system; where students can view information about the status of students, student achievement, and so on. (4) The deepening of the material and exams; Usually professors often hold short Marquis and tasks aimed at deepening of what has been taught and do a test at the end of the study. It also should be anticipated by the web-based distance learning (5) Digital Library; In this section, there are a variety of information literature, not limited to books but also on digital libraries such as sound, images and so on. This section is to support and shape database. (6) The material outside the course material online; To support the lectures, reading materials are also needed from other web. Therefore in this section, faculty and students can get directly involved to provide other materials to publish to other students through web.Mewujudkan ideas and desires of the above in a form of reality is not an easy task but if we look to other countries that have long developed web-based distance learning, have a lot of institutions that take advantage of this method. Not only the skills possessed by engineers who needed but also a variety of policies in the field of education strongly influences its development. If viewed from the readiness of supporting facilities such as hardware, it seems this is not in doubt. Only one is always a major concern of Internet users in Indonesia, namely the problem of bandwidth, of course, with limited bandwidth is reduced comfort, especially on non-text based material. Abroad, particularly in developed countries, distance education has been an educational alternative that is quite popular. The method of education is followed by students, employees, executives, housewives and even elderly people (pensioners). Several years ago the exchange of material is done by correspondence, or equipped with audio and video material. Currently, almost the entire distance learning program in the United States, Australia and Europe can also be accessed via the internet. Studies conducted by the U.S., strongly supports the development of e-learning, said that computer-based learning is very effective, allowing 30% better education, 40% less time, and 30% lower cost. World Bank (World Bank) in 1997 has announced the Global Distance Learning Network (GDLN), which has a total of 80 partner countries in the world. Through GDLN is the World Bank can provide e-learning to students 5 times more (from 30 to 150 students) and costs 31% more murah.Dalam global era, offering a scholarship emerged on the internet. For most students in the world, the tuition fee to obtain the best education is generally still considered expensive. Very unfortunate if there is a good student in his class can not go to school simply because it can not afford the tuition. Scholarship information is key to the success of students who had no long these potentially.

 
-In the Government Sector (e-government).

 
E-government refers to the use of information technology by government, such as using the intranet and the internet, which has the ability to connect the needs of the population, business and other activities. Could be a business transaction process between the public and government through automation and networking systems, more commonly known as the world wide web. At its core e-government is the use of information technology can improve the relationship between government and other parties. The use of this information technology and produce new forms of relationships such as: G2C (Governmet to Citizen), G2B (Government to Business) and G2G (Government to Government). Benefits of e-government can be perceived, among others: (1) Service more services good to the community. Information may be provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without waiting for the opening of the office. Information can be sought from the office, home, without having to physically come to the office of government. (2) Improved relations between government, business, and the general public. Openness (transparency), the expected relationship between the various parties would be better. This openness eliminates the mutual suspicion and resentment from all sides. (3) community empowerment through information that is readily available. Given 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, passing grade, and so forth, can be displayed online and used by parents to choose the right school for their children. (4) Implementation of a more efficient government. For example, coordination of government can be done via e-mail or even video conferencing. For Indonesia, a vast area is very large, this is very helpful. Frequently asked questions, coordination, discussion between local leaders can do without all must be on the same physical location. No longer any need to fly to Jakarta for a meeting that lasted only one or two hours of community saja.Tuntutan good governance is very urgent to be implemented by the government apparatus. One solution that is needed is the integration of government administration through a network of on-line information system among government agencies both central and local governments to access all data and information especially relating to public service. In the government sector, the strategic environment changes and technological advances encourage government officials to anticipate a new paradigm with efforts to improve the performance of the bureaucracy and improving services towards the realization of good governance (good govermance). The important thing to be observed is the government sector is a key driver and facilitator in the success of various development activities, therefore the success of the development should be supported by the current speed of data and information between agencies to enable the integration between the government and the use of others. Efforts to accelerate the implementation of e-Government, still have problem because currently not all menyelenggarakannya area. Moreover, there is still a presumption e-Government web site it just makes the socialization is not performing optimally. However, based on Presidential Instruction, development of integrated government information system will be realized until the year 2005. However the important thing is to remove the wrong opinion that the application of e-Government considers this as a project, but is a system that will integrate subsystems that are spread across regions and departments.

 
-Finance and Banking

 
When this has been a lot of economic actors, especially in big cities that no longer use cash in payment transactions, but have taken advantage of modern banking modern.Layanan banking services that exist only in big cities is understandable because the current economic growth are still concentrated in large cities only, which causes the velocity of money is also concentrated in large cities. So that the banking sector was rather slow in its expansion into the regions. This is somewhat due to the current infrastructure conditions in addition aspects of Indonesia's unique geographic and operational luas.Untuk to the success of a financial institution / bank as a bank, it is definitely needed a reliable information system that can be easily accessed by customers, which will eventually rely on online information technology, for example, a customer can withdraw money wherever it is located as long as there is a service of the bank's ATM, or a customer can check balances and transfer money to another account in just minutes, all transactions can be done . Development of technology and telecommunications infrastructure in Indonesia will greatly assist the development of this industry in the financial sector, such as expanding the scope of business by opening branches in the area, as well as exchange of information among insurance companies, brokerage, banking industry, banking and financial institutions lainnya.Institusi and finance have been strongly influenced by product development in information technology, even they can not operate anymore without information technology. This sector requires the development of products in information technology to deliver their services to customers in the information system development mereka.Program IndonesiaProgram developing of information systems (06/16/01 program) is intended to develop information systems needed to improve the inclusion of information science and technology that occurred internationally, to facilitate the exchange and dissemination of information science and technology, and improving system planning, management, monitoring activities and the progress of science and teknologi.Besarnya cost the government to conduct studies, research, application of mastery in the field of information technology during the period of the year budget 1997/1998 to 2001 can be seen in the table below shows ini.Tabel under budget (pure dollars) for information system development program, fiscal year 1997/1998 to 2001
