Success stories from Jembrana, Sragen, Denpasar and Kebumen have something in common, all of them have strong leadership. Before the regency implement the technology, burreucracy reformation has been done. The reformation gives the public services that manage citizen identification card and other licenses, power to make decision, cut the possibilities of cheating and corruption.
Relation between control, objectivity and technology can be traced back since it beginning. In ancient time, human tries to defeat the nature through simple tools called technology. Technology is seen as human representation to conquer nature. By time, technology has became part of capital owned by several people. This several people use technology to dominate other. For instance, attendance machine to control labour salary. Technology is assumed to be objective and neutral.
