The development of Information and Communication TechnologyDefinitionTechnology is a design for instrumental action that reduces the uncertainty in the cause-effect relationships involved in achieving the desired results. Technology usually has two aspects: hardware (consisting of material or physical objects) and aspects of the software (consisting of base information for the hardware). Both aspects are important for the practical use of computers, but because the hardware is more visible to the casual observer, then we would think is a major technology hardware.Communication technology in modern society such as the United States. Communication technology is hardware equipment, organization, structure and social values ​​that individuals use to collect, process and exchange information with other individuals. Furthermore, the more important is the nature of new media and how it functions for most people to exchange information. In fact the new communication technologies are not only characterized by a single new technologies such as microcomputers and satellite, but combines elements of a new type of communication like using satellites to provide a wid range of programming to cable television systems. Examples of new communication technologies that network teleconferencing, electronic systems, computer bulletin boards, and interactive cable television.Changes in human communication as a result of new technologies

    New communication system has a certain level of interactivity, such as two-person conversation or face to face. Interactivity is the ability of a new communication system to speak back to the user or almost like an individual who participates in the conversation.
    New media also demassified namely that a particular message can be exchanged with each individual in a large audience. Equate individualization as a new media for face-to-face interpersonal communication, except that they are not face to face.
    New communication technologies are also synchronous, which means they have the ability to send or receive a message at the right time for an individual.
New media types

    Microcomputers

    Stand-alone unit, usually with provisions for loading individual software and is sometimes associated with other microcomputers within the network. Microcomputer central processing unit that reads and executes program instructions are in the form of a single semiconductor chip.
2. Teleconference

    Small group meetings held by interactive electronic communication among three or more people in two or more separate locations. Telekonferensing are three main types of video teleconferencing, audio teleconferencing, and computer teleconferencing.
3. Teletext

    Interactive information services that allow individuals to request information frame to look at the television screen.
4. Videotext

    Interactive information services that allow individuals to request information frames from a central computer to see on-screen video display.
5. Satellite Communications

    Satellite communication consists of phone messages, television broadcasts and other messages from somewhere else on the surface. These satellites are usually placed in stationary or around the equator About a 22,300 miles from the earth's surface. Basically, the satellite transmission of television, telephone and other information eliminates the effect of distance on communication costs.
Positive and negative impacts of the impact of technological development viewed from a variety of fields

    Field of information and communicationIn the field of information and communication has been a very rapid progress. Of progress we can feel the positive impacts include:

    We will more quickly get the information accurate and up to date on any part of the earth over the internet

    We can communicate with friends, family and very much just by going through the phone

    We get bank services very easily.
Besides the benefits that we derive the technological advancements progress apparently also used for negative things, among others:

    Network communication services utilization by terrorists (Reuters)

    The use of certain information and certain sites that are on the internet that can be misused by certain parties for a specific purpose

    Field of EducationTechnology has a very important role in the field of education, among others:

    The advent of mass media, particularly the electronic media as a source of science and education center. The impact of this is the teacher rather than the sole source of knowledge.

    The emergence of methods to new learning, which allows students and teachers in the learning process. With the advancement of technology terciptlah new methods that make students able to understand abstract material, because the material can be made with the aid of an abstract.

    Learning systems do not have to go through face-to-face.
