The Love of Technology

yuti — June 12, 2008 / 9:15 am

Topik: STS

I borrowed the title from Latour: Aramis, or the Love of Technology. The book talks about Aramis, a fascinating public transit system that never enter the real world. As Science in Action, Latour frame his story by following the actors–including design of the system, technology used, discourse among human actors, etc. The project runs quite long, during 1970-1987, but with all of the money spent, and resources absorbed, Aramis failed to born.

Being in a field where technology is the main topic, I realize that technology performance is not enough, although significant. In newspaper, we can read that almost every day new invention has born. In Indonesian research mapping, food sector dominated Indonesia’s research–represented by number of doctor, research conducted, fund used, but why Indonesia still facing famine, malnutrition and food security issues?

The same problem occur in energy. There are several local knowledge about technology that failed to sustain toward centralization of energy in New Order era. Everything-has-to-be-similar thing also occur when Indonesian government proposed Green Revolution. The revolution has forced farmers to leave their local potential and uniqueness. Maybe identity issues can be entered here: when technology lose it context and ‘miracle.’
