Plus Minus The Use Of Technology For Social And Economic Matters During A Pandemic
JAKARTA - The pandemic situation has made many people rack their brains to use technology for business. Member of Commission I of the Indonesian House of Representatives, A. Rizki Sadig said that in every use of technology there would be pluses and minuses.
"In a condition like this, there are pluses and minuses. The plus is being able to offer a much cheaper product with a wider range, with even bigger potential customers, but the downside is that competition will be bigger, of course, everyone has to compete to make it attractive from the packaging side, in terms of taste, in terms of usage and so on," explained Rizki Sadig in a live streaming seminar with the theme "Utilization of ICT for Social and Economics" initiated by the Directorate General of Information and Public Communication (Ditjen IKP), quoted Wednesday, August 18.
Therefore, said Rizki Sadig, like it or not, every business actor must continue to innovate. This is done, of course, so that the products produced are not marketed, although this will be a challenge in itself.
Rizki Sadig also reminded all parties that not all good people exist in the digital world. Because in reality, there are people who also have bad intentions.
"For example, there are people who sell products as if they are good but turn out to be bad. There are people who seem to sell products but they don't have the product and the money is received. There are also many incidents like this," he said.
