Impact Of Globalization Of IPTEK Positively, What Are?

YOGYAKARTA - There are many impacts from the globalization of science and technology, especially for Indonesia. One of the positive impacts for society is the faster access to information.

This condition will certainly allow countries and governments to clearly and quickly communicate policies to the public. For example, the delivery of information and distance learning policies during the COVID-19 period in 2020. So what are the impacts of other IPTEK globalizations? Check out the full review below.

Ethymologically, globalization is taken from English, namely globalize which means universal or comprehensive. The added -ization in the word globalization means a global process. Thus, globalization is a process of a global (information, lifestyle, thought, and technology).

Globalization makes all nations and countries in the world increasingly connected, realizing a new order of life by removing geographical, economic, social, and cultural boundaries.

Thus, globalization can change the world as a unit that is manifested in the form of inter-national and human relations, for example in the fields of trade, investment, communication, travel, and culture.

Quoted from the book Perjuangan Negara Vs Pasar, Winarno (2009: 19), Lodge defines globalization as a process that places the world community to reach one another or be connected in all aspects of life.

This condition makes globalization have many impacts in the field of life, one of which is IPTEK. Below are four examples of the positive impact of globalization in the field of IPTEK felt by the Indonesian people.

The real impact of the development of IPTEK in the globalization era is that access to information is obtained more quickly and easily. One example, when the Indonesian people become faster to get the latest information during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

In addition to making people faster to get information, globalization also allows people to interact with each other easily. Thus, people between regions in Indonesia can still interact, and this provides benefits, for example to learn each other, trade, and socialize.

Globalization also makes technological developments run more effectively. Humans can exchange information about science, how to use technology, and even collaborate to produce new technology.

The next positive impact, globalization makes learning not limited by distance. Students and students can achieve various kinds of learning by using the internet, for example:

When the economy of a country increases due to technological developments, the impact will certainly be felt on the living standards of the people, although not necessarily equal.

For example, globalization opens up opportunities for investment from foreign companies into the country. When foreign companies are interested in setting up factories, offices and marketing in a country, of course they will look for or recruit workers.

Thus, the labor market is formed so that people can work and receive income. This has an impact on improving their standard of living and economy.

Based on the explanation above, of course there are many impacts from the positive globalization of IPTEK. Nevertheless, globalization also has the potential to have a negative impact, one of which undermines the value of the nation's culture. So, in this context, people must be wise in dealing with this phenomenon.

Such is the review of the impact of the globalization of IPTEK that the public can feel. Hopefully useful. Visit VOI.id to get other interesting information.
