Penerapan Pancasila dalam Ilmu Pengetahuan dan Teknologi

Summary

This transcript explores the widespread impact of science and technology (IPTEK) in daily life, highlighting both its positive and negative effects. While IPTEK improves access to information, communication, productivity, and healthcare, it also poses challenges like environmental damage, misinformation, and job displacement. The transcript emphasizes the importance of aligning technology use with the values of Pancasila, Indonesia's foundational ideology. Despite recognizing the significance of Pancasila in guiding technology, the survey reveals that many respondents believe current technology applications do not fully adhere to these principles. Public education on responsible tech use is crucial for mitigating potential harms.

Takeaways

• 😀 IPTEK (science and technology) has become an inseparable part of daily life, significantly shaping how people live and interact in modern society.
• 😀 The development of IPTEK has provided positive impacts such as faster access to information, improved communication, and advancements in various sectors like healthcare, productivity, and business.
• 😀 One major benefit of IPTEK is the easy and rapid dissemination of information, which makes communication more efficient (e.g., via WhatsApp groups).
• 😀 IPTEK also aids in increasing productivity, as machines and modern technology help industries produce goods faster and more efficiently.
• 😀 The advancement of IPTEK opens up new business opportunities and fosters global competition, where technology serves as a key competitive advantage.
• 😀 Despite its benefits, IPTEK can also have harmful consequences, such as environmental degradation due to industrial and technological waste, CO2 emissions, and climate change.
• 😀 Negative impacts of IPTEK include increased cybercrime (e.g., online fraud, hacking) and social issues like addiction to social media and a decline in ethics and values.
• 😀 The misuse of IPTEK can lead to the rapid spread of misinformation, fake news, and harmful content, which can damage public opinion and cause social division.
• 😀 Respondents emphasized that IPTEK should be aligned with Pancasila (Indonesia’s national ideology), which serves as a moral and cultural guide to ensure technology serves society responsibly.
• 😀 There is a noticeable gap between the ideal use of IPTEK in line with Pancasila and its current application, with 69% of respondents believing that IPTEK in Indonesia is not yet fully in harmony with Pancasila values.
