Does technology has paradigm? As human creation, technology contains human dreams to be useful and meaningful. But how this purposes are being translated in a wider community? Recently, I am doing research in ICT area. My involvement with this communities make me believe that ICT is a good entry point to reduce inequality among areas in Indonesia. But how to make the ICT works in community with different background? In Jembarana and Sragen, I observed that success factor is on the local leader. ICT is being used as part to support e-government and transparency. It can’t work separately with regulation reformation. In the other side, the technology make transparency possible.
How technology influence human life can be seen in a absent machine. Every morning we arrive at the office, we are asked to put our ID card or finger print on a machine. As a tools, the absent machine is considered as a neutral agent, therefor it is difficult to cheat on them. But by opening the black box, every thing can be reconstructed. The absent machine can be cracked, either technically or socially.
