REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, By Asma Nadia
I live in areat that quite secluded fore the size of the city. Approximately 15 minutes following two way road that winding before reaching the main road. For the neighborhood people that not have a vehicle, only motorcycle taxis that can be transportation bridge from the main road. Expensive, but there was no choice.
One day, the local government saw the importance of transportation to the local community so that opening route. Public minivan began to enter and entire community welcomed with enthusiasm. Of course, they now do not have to pay the expensive cost of transport because it is more massive.
Wait a minute, all the people? Oh wrong, it was not every citizen welcomed. There are people who work as motorcycle taxi drivers that affected the impact of unpleasant, they begin to lose passengers.
Finally, the motorcycle riders unified, they banish public minivan passing by. Stopping, some even up damage and prohibit the operation of public transport. The number of public minivan drivers that only dozens could not resist motorcycle taxi drivers that hundreds of them.
People that previously had been overjoyed with the changes, back to life in a compulsion about choosing transportation-effect of the small group of people ego that loss because a change
After long negotiations, public transportation finally allowed to return with the terms of the time limit until 18.00. After that, people obliged to use motorcycle taxi service. Is this a win-win solution?
For motorcycles taxi, yes. But, not for the community because it was still forced at a certain time to not have the option to choose transportation model.
In past, I think the attitude anti-changes for the sake of ego, just emerging from people less educated. However, in reality, this is a natural human trait, which is how smart and rich, will remain inside. Except not given a choice.
At the beginning of the rise of social media, Facebook, WA, Line, and an other online application sign in, just as social networking. Once used by tens to hundreds of millions of people, they are now open free calling features. Imagine how much loss the conventional telecommunications companies.
Luckily, the phone operators are already anticipating this possibility early-they chose to adjust to the changes. So that when the income of the pulse shrinking, the company can still make money from the data packet.
The beginning of the digital era, when CD technology sign in, ribbon cassette factory in Indonesia began to close, workers lose their jobs. Now, the CD began to be abandoned because people can easily get a digital version on the internet. Nothing can stop the progress, but adjusting to the change.
When the digital-based applications into the realm of the transportation business, the parties whose interests are impaired seek to block change, beginning with the legality of the approach. Then start with a demo, but instead ended up with anarchistic and violence. Resulting in loss of sympathy. And if you open up, may be precisely established transportation company can not absorb this technology for the benefit - continues-- business.
Without a sensible attitude to the changes in the digital era, we might have found the demo throughout life. Delivering newspapers demo for turnover slumped due to a lot of online media, the postman demos for people to send messages via e-mail and SMS, paper mills demo because demand for paper slumped, department store demos for online sales, all the fields affected by this change. Fortunately, most people are able to see and adjust to the changes.
Change is inevitable. The options to adjust or inhibit and fight with force. If changes are underway for the progress of society in general, but we fight for personal interests, the ego was under control. Unless the changes brought about are changes that bring damage.
Government plays an important role in initiating the change. Wise government is able to adapt to change, not that inhibit the sake of a handful of people who feel affected by the change.
For many things, I do not believe in Charles Darwin, but I agree with the expression that, "It is the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."
