Development of Science and Technology

Developments in science and technology was the faster , especially as a result of technological development in the field of industrial electronics and informatics , which shortens the product life cycle . Besides, the development of technology in the fields marked with a large increase in capacity , increasing speed and miniaturization of power influence the broad scope of its application so as to provide a very broad impact on the development of other industries in the sub-sector as a whole as well as our lives . Therefore industrialized countries in the world trying to take control and develop technologies to enhance research and development activities in the field of manufacturing technology and product technology . In general, industrialized countries to take this step in order to improve the competitiveness of their products or at least to maintain their competitiveness in / entering the international market . On the other hand, developing countries now increasingly aware of the importance of mastery of science and technology as part of its national development , so that the developing countries in a race against each other to improve their ability to master and develop science and technology . Their efforts now more emphasis placed on increasing competitiveness in order to open access to international markets . In line with tighter competition between industries through the development of these technologies has shifted the economic system the world was moving towards the establishment of a global economy . As we know that the implementation of the globalization system will be realized through the establishment of a single market either in North American , Europe and Asia - Pacific . Implementation of the single market system on the one hand increase the volume of demand and lead to the expansion of the market , but on the other hand also demand increasingly fierce competition between manufacturers in entering the market . In other words that only competitive products are likely to enter the market to gain market share . Globalization of the economic system will inevitably give a disparate impact on the development of science and technology advanced rapidly and earlier . Thus to produce a competitive product in terms of price , quality and time of delivery are more popularly known as " Quality , Cost and Delivery Time ( QCD ) " would require the support activities and research & development facilities that tough anyway . As a result of research and development costs are increasingly expensive anyway . Therefore efforts to increase research and development activities as part of efforts to increase the ability in the mastery of science and technology in general and increasing competitiveness in particular has led to the establishment of centers of technological excellence . These circumstances stimulate major companies in the world to take a new stance facing the scenario in trade and marketing . Merger and inter-company purchases continues to reach full capacity and capability so as a company could have a " considerable mass / critical mass " that will be rolling their own . Critical mass to be achieved include market size and technology as well as a complete product . Similarly, other forms of cooperation in the form of strategic alliances continue to expand on the products and sophisticated technologies such as aircraft , motor vehicle , semi- conductor and others , which basically requires both funds and huge technological capabilities that can not be borne only by one company or can not be supported by one country alone . Symptoms or economic trend towards a global system is turned back to the impact of technology development activities , because the system is inevitably going to demand similar product rationalization . If you search deeper then the rationalization of the product can essentially be viewed as an opportunity to increase productivity towards the utilization of funds research & development ( R & D ) both provided by the government or by the private sector . Advanced industrial countries that have had the support and R & D infrastructure and a modern fully equipped and has accumulated experience and ability to do basic research (basic research) continue to race each other in the conduct of research and development for future technologies . Based on our observations , the industry development trend in the future will lead / focused on three main areas of research & development activities , namely :
- Electronics technology for " Office Automation Industry " ;
- Technology Biotechnology , and - Materials Technology
- Materials Technology
