Introduction to the Special Issue
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have become a ubiquitous part of people’s lives all over the world, including in Indonesia. The growing use of these technologies, especially the Internet, has not only implicated the ways individuals communicate, but also influenced the way they connect to each other. With the developments of social media such as blogs, wikis, collaborative websites and other social networking tools to fulfill the personal, organizational, societal and political goals and to influence the way individuals work and live, it is important to understand the implications it brings. This special issue seeks manuscripts that look at a wide variety of ICT uses and what implications these uses have on people, organizations and society in the Indonesian context as the technology becomes more widely available. This issue also welcomes those who look at the other side of the coin, i.e. manuscripts that focus on the cultural, social and political shaping of the technologies by Indonesian society. The goal of this special issue is to offer an understanding and assessment of how ICTs and society have mutually shaped each other, and theoretical considerations of the links between social implications and ICTs.
