PERKEMBANGAN DAN KEMAJUAN TEKNOLOGI




Ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi (IPTEK) di indonesia berkembang dari tahun ke tahun sejak indonesia masih dalam penjajahan Belanda. Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi di Indonesia pada masa penjajahan dipelopori dan diperkenalkan oleh pemerintah kolonial Belanda. Pada waktu itu masyarakat diperkenalkan pada persenjataan modern baik yang ringan maupun yang berat.
Teknologi lain yang diperlihatkan dan digunakan oleh Belanda berupa kendaraan tempur dan alat-alat transportasi lainnya. Teknologi-teknologi tersebut berasal dari negara-negara di Eropa. Kemudian pemerintah kolonial Belanda menanamkan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi melalui pendidikan di sekolah-sekolah maupun dengan cara penggunaan secara langsung kepada masyarakat di indonesia.

Setelah merdeka, perkembangan ilmu pengatahuan dan teknologi berkembang pesat di Indonesia. Hal ini didorong dengan terbukanya akses-akses untuk mendapatkan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi bagi masyarakat di Indonesia. Kemerdekaan menciptakan keadilan dalam mengakses ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi bagi masyarakat di Indonesia. Mereka mempelajari sedikit demi sedikit di sekolah-sekolah yang sudah dibuka untuk semua kalangan masyarakat Indonesia. Dengan bekal pengetahuan ini kemudian masyarakat Indonesia melakukan berbagai inovasi dan eksperimen ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi untuk mengembangkan ilmu pengetahuan di Indonesia.

Di era sekarang, teknologi sangat erat kaitannya dengan Internet. Perkembangan internet itu sangat mempengaruhi kehidupan sosial serta cara berkomunikasi seseorang. Perkembangan yang terjadi terhadap telepon genggam juga semakin mempermudah komunikasi melalui sosial media maupun internet. Hanya dari sebuah handphone kita bisa mendapatkan begitu banyak informasi secara singkat. Smartphone , itulah sebutan untuk handphone canggih yang dapat berfungsi hampir sama dengan sebuah computer jinjing atau laptop namun berukuran jauh lebih kecil. 

Bila dilihat dari sudut pandang ini, kemajuan teknologi memberikan kita kesempatan untuk hidup secara lebih mudah. Hal tersebut merupakan kemudahan untuk mendapatkan atau juga menyebarkan informasi yang diinginkan.

PRACTICE 1 PRACTICE FOR WRITING SKILL

PRACTICE 1 PRACTICE FOR WRITING SKILL Read this following paragraph carefully. 1.       RAILWAY MANIAS In 1830 there were a few dozen miles of railways in all the world – chiefly consisting of the line from Liverpool to Manchester. By 1840 there were over 4,500 miles, by 1850 over 23,500. Most of them were projected in a few bursts of speculative frenzy known as the ‘railway manias’ of 1835–7 and especially in 1844–7; most of them were built in large part with British capital, British iron, machines and know-how. These investment booms appear irrational, because in fact few railways were much more profitable to the investor than other forms of enterprise, most yielded quite modest profits and many none at all: in 1855 the average interest on capital sunk in the British railways was a mere 3.7 per cent.

PRACTICE 2 SUMMARIZING AND PARAPHRASING Please read these folowing paragraph carefully. Then,write the summary and paraphrase of the paragraphs. 1. From Bliss, Michael. The Discovery of Insulin. Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1982. Chapter 8, Section I, Paragraph 1, Page 190: Most medical people despised the press, holding attitudes not totally unfamiliar today. Reporters tended to be suckers for every quack, half-quack, over-eager scientist, or naive country doctor who thought he had a serum to cure tuberculosis, a herbal remedy for cancer, or a new surgical procedure to rejuvenate the aged. When the newspapers were not wasting space on undeserving medical stories, they were over-playing legitimate news, getting their facts wrong, and generally making a nuisance of themselves interfering in the lives and practices of busy professionals. Doctors’ deep suspicion of what they read in the newspapers and even in the less-carefully edited of the medical journals, helps to ...
