New Technology and Social Change

World Globalization is one word that probably the most talked about for the last five years with a diverse understanding of the meaning. However, what is understood by the term globalization ultimately bring awareness to people, that all inhabitants of this planet are interrelated and can not be separated from each other for granted despite the physical distance range stretches. The world is seen as a unity in which all human beings on this earth are connected to each other in a web of vast importance.
Talks about talks on the topic of globalization is vast surrounding the fundamental aspects of human life from the cultural, political, economic and social. Globalization of the economy may now be a frame of reference and at the same time the most current example clearly illustrates how a global policy could have an impact on many people at the local level, while the globalization discourse in other respects, may not be so easily observed clearly.
Social Change
Social change can be defined as any change in the social institutions in a people.  Change in social institutions have further effects on social systems, including the values, behavior patterns or attitudes in communities consisting of social groups.
Changes that can affect the environment in a broader sense, the social values, social norms, behavioral patterns, structure, organizations, institutions, layers of society, social relations, communication systems itself. Also about power and authority, social interaction, advances in technology and so on.
Information Technology (IT)
Information Technology (IT) is now developing very rapidly, also can not be denied a significant contribution to the whole process of globalization. Starting from TI rides the simplest form of the radio and television and the Internet and of mobile phones with wireless application protocol (WAP), information flows very quickly and pushed a lot of people living consciousness.
Change the information is no longer present in the scale of weeks or days or even hours, but already in the scale of minutes and seconds. Asking the news from anywhere can be done only with the help of an inanimate object that gives a thousand kinds of luxuries, not only calling even surf or just playing games, listening to music, watching television until now everything is within our grasp.
Therefore, reasonable if the governments of the countries of Asia, countries considered less developed, are now beginning to formally support the development of IT in a long while silent-confused not knowing what to do with the rapid development of this technology. For Asia, which is currently working hard to catch up with developed countries and at the same time the social and political changes, the presence of the internet in particular is a complicated issue. Even worse, the economic crisis experienced by Asia in the late 90s when delaying the development of IT in the U.S. and European countries in the use of emerging technology.
