digital technology is getting wriggling. Every human activity can not be separated from the digital touch. In terms of communicating, for example. Imagine, in the past, people had to write letters and send them first.
It took many days until finally the message is read by the intended person. Now, messaging can be done easily through the device. Yes, such is the impact of the development of digital technology. As World Economic Forum Executive (WEC) chief Klaus Schwab said, today's world is changing so rapidly with the advent of digital technology. Conditions that, Klaus added, make human access to science so open and no longer limited. "All these things are no longer dreams, through new technological breakthroughs in robotics, internet of things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, three-dimensional printing, biotechnology, energy storage, and so on," Klaus said. According to Cisco's Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast research, by 2020, there are at least 5.5 billion device users worldwide.
That number reaches 70 percent of the global population. In Indonesia, it is estimated that at least 130 million devices have been used by the public. Then with the more berkobarnya digital technology, what impact for humans?
According to Xavier, digital technology is an inevitable reality. It is increasingly becoming a daily necessity. In fact, says Xavier, the technology is always in the pockets of our clothing. "Just imagine, what would happen to young people today without the presence of wifi? Internet connection seems to be a more crucial needs than anything else," he said. The growth of digital technology, he continued, became a positive thing to move the wheels of the economy.
Digital and economic when united can be the support of a country's progress. Indonesia is one of the countries preparing to welcome the legitnya digital world. The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology projects, by 2020, the digital economy in Indonesia can grow to 130 billion US dollars or about Rp 1,700 trillion. The projected figure is expected to touch 20 percent of Indonesia's total gross domestic product (GDP). This projection is up from the realization of 2017 amounting to 75 billion US dollars or about Rp 1,000 trillion. "Digital technology can make economic investment multiply in Indonesia with digital penetration technology, Indonesia has also shown its confidence to become the 10th most powerful economy in the world by 2030," said Xavier.
