Humans exchange information through communicating to each targeted individual. Culture of communication will affect the way humans do it. Communication itself can change culture in society. The world is changing rapidly, in the last two decades the development of technology has been so rapidly providing its dams that touch all aspects of human life. One of the things that developed very peat and became the trigger of the existing development is communication. In the last development where the world of information becomes very important in the aspects of human life, then the communication was ultimately not negotiable and become a very important part in completing human life. The statement confirms that the development of the era contributed in communicating, if at a time ago Before the development of communication technology, humans can communicate to people face-to-face. But along with the development of the age and communication technology, communication process can be done without limitation of time, distance and place.The development of communication technology is now very rapid, and technological developments in some aspects have changed the pattern of community life. A clear example of the result of the development of communication technology is the emergence of mobile phones. At this time the use of mobile phones is not a strange thing because almost the population of Indonesia has been using mobile phones in their daily life. But the long distance communication tool is also experiencing rapid technological progress. The mobile phone has switched function from a remote communication device into a very clever object that can be used various things by sipenggunanya. In today's era of mobile phones is called being a smartphone, a tool that can be used many things in addition to talking long distance or sending short messages.
Smartphones can be used to be personal assistants, because these tools can store important data for business and as a reminder of what to do next by the user. Smartphones can input applications for chat, email, phone, social media, and entertainment. Technological progress is welcomed by the masyarat of Indonesia, especially the people of Jakarta which is almost all community groups A, B, and C already using smatphone.
Various types and types of smartphones from the cheapest price to the most expensive price even though many people in Jakarta. The amount of interest the public will be very large smartphone, and the purchasing power of various elements of society is also very high. Call it a construction worker representing the society of the class C is now able to use the smartphone with a variety of needs. Meanwhile, among the class A and B smartphones become an item to boost their strata class among the community so that deviate from the basic needs of the tool itself. No wonder the people of Jakarta are very consumptive in their lives. This obviously has influenced the people's culture in Jakarta, a communication tool that was originally only for the phone and sent a short message but now a luxury item and a must to use smartphones. Besides, the smartphone is able to facilitate users in exchanging information to each individual.
With the advancement of this technology also affect the pattern of human life in getting information. Currently all the information available from any part of the world can be easily spread all over the world with the existence of network technology, the digital era that uses internet systems that can make people easily and quickly obtain information.
This change in communication technology has some impact on people's lives. Significant positive impacts on the lines of business, workers, even school students to college students who rely heavily on the speed of exchanging information with each other. And can also find information spread on the internet as one of the needs of each individual enough with a smartphone. Negative impacts that can also occur in human life is the ease of information about pronografi spread through the internet network on smartphones.Influences in cultural aspects, of course, these changes have some positive impacts and negative impacts. The positive impact of this technological development is the ease of dissemination of information from the side of knowing positive things from other cultures such as the habits of Indonesians who often stalling time, with the development of communication technology can learn from developed countries on how to appreciate the time and discipline that can later be applied On the culture of Indonesian society so that can advance the nation of Indonesia.In addition to the positive impact, the development of communication technology can also have negative impacts of cultural aspects. The negative impact is the lack of interest of the community to their own culture, for example as the people of Indonesia now are more proud to speak using a foreign language than using the Indonesian language is actually one of the nation's identity. Not a few also among the teenagers who prefer to learn foreign culture such as the type of dance break-dance, sufle dance, and other types of foreign dances than traditional dances such as kecak dance and others. This is due to the very easy variety of information obtained through the internet media.The influence of changes in communication technology also has an impact on the social life of the community. The positive impact that can be felt from the development of this communication technology is the ease of society in communicating with keraba a very long distance though. With the existence of network technology makes us able to familiarize ourselves back with old friends, and also other relatives. With the convenience of this does not need to wait a long time to be able to communicate and exchange news or any event that is being experienced by relatives or our friends as far away as before, because communicating distance is still very limited by using the letter. But now by using smartphones that are in content with chat apps, email, phone, and social media we can exchange information in seconds. Besides other positive impact is the community will be easier to spread goodness among human beings, for example, there is a natural disaster in a certain area then people who are close to the location can preach or disseminate information that there is a natural disaster disaster at the location of the person is located . Thus if there is an organization or a particular person who wants to raise funds to help the burden of victims of natural disasters through this medium someone or organization will easily disseminate the information that will make it easier to do the collection of donations to people in need. As we know now the internet network is so vast even not only in urban areas but also in the countryside.Although this change in communications technology has a positive impact on society in terms of social life, it also has a negative impact. Negative impact with the development of communication and information technology is the decline of public awareness of the people around him. Often encountered large family groups, complete from parents and children along with a household assistant sitting at one table together but not talking to each other, they seemed to be busy with their smartphonenya to chatting with others who are more distant than His family who was nearby.This causes adverse effects in interpersonal interactions directly can also damage a person psychologically, beriringnya time one will be difficult to establish face-to-face communication and build relationships with the people around him. If it is not prevented soon will have a very bad impact on our social life, where people over time will be very individualistic and no longer tone interaction or socialization is done in the real world, because the human desire is more pleased with something that Creative, interesting and instant.
Therefore we must be wise in exploiting the development of communication technology that developed at this time. When it comes to long distance communication as much as possible not to be too concerned about distant relatives, we must be aware that the time with people around us is more important to always be able to communicate directly. Thus we can appreciate the time available to do activities with family or relatives who are around us even as a society of Indonesia friendly to others even though still a culture of Indonesian society.In social life too important roles such as parents and government should be a fence for the development of their children and society as a whole. Having a smartphone does have many positive impacts by helping us to facilitate the activity. The role of parents in instilling religious education in their children and inculcate the values of life and norms that are good and bad, so that the use of technology itself is more appropriate. The government also took part in the supervision of the development of communication technology by employing related ministers in the field of communication technology. Thus the negative impact can be further filtered and minimize the negative impact itself.
