Last week, I have the opportunity to go to Papua, the most east province of Indonesia. There are a lot of things that make me wondered: culture, technology penetration, outsiders, local people and how every elements seems to be messed up without any grand strategy. For instance, internet. In one hand, the local government has fund to support the technology, but on the other hand, people who capable to operate the technology is still very rare. As a way out, they import technology and people as well.
In my opinion, supply push like this bring negative impact. The technology play role as a standardization machine that can choose person who can or can’t work with them. The transformation change from people who have the capital to person who can operate the capital, and yeah, we can use Marx analysis for this.
