Abstract

Internet is the most important aspect of information and communication technologies (ICTs) today. It brings significant changes in many parts of the society, in politics, economy, and in culture. The unprecedented changes happening in those domains are possible, in part, due to the advent of wireless technology that has created a free access of information and makes time and distance irrelevant than before. With the combination of social media, wireless technology, and the internet, we can communicate and access information from and to anywhere, and at any time now despite some obstacles both technical and cultural. This article aims to highlight the system, application of wireless technology, and challenges of its use in Indonesia, especially with the perennial issue of digital divide cause by either technical and cultural factors. The gap is not only on the dimension of physical access, but also on other dimensions which are commonly ignored namely motivation to use, skill access, and usage access.
