Information Techonology Research Nation

I believe that Indonesia will become an Information Technology Research Center in the next five years. There are three reasons why I feel my country will become IT Research Nation. The main signal is Indonesia have had Information Communication Technology( ICT ) Ministry which means ICT supported and governed by government. The Ministry have passed Electrical Transaction bill that regulates online transaction like e-Payment, e-Commerce, e-Government etc. The existence of the department depicts IT have become an integrated aspect in our people life.

Second, Indonesia’s national budget on education is 20% begun last year that means more research conducted by academics will be paid by this budget. Even though it is not only for IT research, there is more opportunity to increase IT Research. The funding can also sponsor scholarships in the IT field and increase IT education. More IT-educated people will be produced by increasing budget on education, more resources will continue and develop IT.

Finally, nowadays many businesses are using IT to be more competitive. IT is used as tools in supporting works and making advantages. To be winner in the competition, IT must be unique and reliable. It needs research and development on IT products and services to become fastest company giving services to its customers. For example in the bank, best bank will give real time and online service to its customer every time and everywhere. It can be done only by IT support.

In conclusion the need and all support above will make my country become Information Technology Research Nation in the next few years.
