Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. I have been a natural person for three years. I don't feel it, but I'm not lying because it's very hard. I want to say that the challenge is not to add more, but to be more lying again. Because the longer it takes to become a reading teacher, the more challenges there are.

0:30

And especially because of what was mentioned earlier, the first part of the paper, this is a very clear outline, because I am an English speaker, so you can ask me before me, because I can keep up. When Mr. Sari said, what is in our hands, technology, is what really changes all aspects of our environment. I will tell you how it affects us as well. But what is certain,

0:58

Technology makes us consume information in so many ways. I'll try to model it. Those who have WA apps, where are they? Can you see them? Those who have WA, all of them have the most frequently used apps, except Facebook. What is this? WA.

1:22

So now we have more information not from the book but from the WA. And that is not exclusive to Indonesia but all over the country. Mr. Bandung mentioned about India. In India, the talk about WhatsApp is so dominant.

1:45

Not only private institutions, but also family groups, SMEs, SMEs, SDGs, all activities, our group has a group, but it is used for promotion, used for extraordinary political campaigns, used for the rights of the people. So far, it's been a vicious cycle.

2:13

And not only there, if we pay attention here, we also feel that. How lies are spread so quickly, especially because of the WHO. And especially because of our tendency to want to spread information quickly. What cannot be completely wrong, because I read the study,

2:39

Our brain is wired in such a way that it is easier to believe in something we get, especially if the information confirms the bias that we have previously. The ability to doubt information requires a more hard-working brain.

3:03

It's easier for us, for our brains, for humans to believe whatever we get. But to question, it requires a heavier task. Because it's easier for us to be trusted, because it's easier for us to spread information that is not clear with any motivation.

3:26

This is the first motivation, so that the audience can know, or the motivation is just to check the information from the next group. And these things, I think, for the last two years, are the most frequently asked questions to the audience. Whether it's an event in Jakarta, or a trip to Papua, or Padang, or West Semarang, or Palembang, or wherever.

3:52

When we have a conversation in front of high school students, on campus, in front of the parents, in front of the school board. Our challenge as a nation today, before, we had to face the challenge of how to make us love books. But now it's even more difficult. How can we be people who can differentiate, choose and share information? Which is good, which is bad, which is good, which is bad.

4:21

And that's a challenge that I usually face. What is usually answered by the reader is something very practical. I always say that the digital media literacy nowadays, it's one of the UPRs, we are together, it can be done through technical things. For example, be careful when you see provocative titles. Most likely, it's a scam.

4:49

Be careful with the words in the world, viral or messages. Spread it. The big possibility is actually big. Always check where the information source is from. Be careful too because there are many sources of information that are used by institutions or official websites. Only the back of the hand is replaced. Dotcom becomes dot what dot? It is used by the press agencies that are considered to have credibility.

5:19

Then, how do we identify the picture or photo, whether it is a fake photo or not. Then, once it is copied or branded into Google Images, it is checked where it first appeared and who published it. So there are things or tips that we can practice and teach.

5:41

The most important thing is to return to the basics. How can we become people who are critical of information? And once again, it is actually a challenge with how our brains are programmed that it will be very easy to believe something and difficult to criticize. Because it takes extra effort. And the extra effort is the effort to read.

6:10

How to read books, how to read long information, so that we can be more used to applying information and asking what we get. Instead of reading, we will be more careful to give a conclusion or conclusion until we finish the last part of our book.

6:32

How much information we collect from our interactions with material will become a knowledge accumulation that will allow us to choose and decide whether this is actually not in line with what I have read or whether it is interesting for us to find out further. So once again, amidst various changes in the world, amidst various challenges, amidst our needs to keep up with the information that is moving so fast,

7:02

The key is our ability to reach the meaning of the text, which is reading, not just reading. And that's an effort that's been done for a long time and it's not enough to just focus on technology. If you pay attention, starting today we can only forward a message to the maximum number of people. If that's the case, we can get a lot of people all day forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward, forward,

7:36

The technology platform realized how much technology could be used and finally made a restriction. One of them was reducing the number of messages sent with the notification of a certain number. And in fact, this started from India. I told you earlier about how India was so fast in spreading hoax information that eventually ate up the government.

8:06

If you don't remember, 46 people died in the past because of the mass massacres in India because of the hoax news. So at that time, the hoax was that there was a kidnap that was broadcast in the villages in India. And the hoax news was trusted and finally 46 people died in torture, in the slaughter, and it happened almost in many places in India.

8:39

That's why WhatsApp was the first to implement information delivery, which was only possible five times in October in India and is still being used today in the world. But that's done through technology platforms. Sometimes technology is just a tool, while we as users can use it or limit ourselves when facing information or this kind of thing.

9:06

And that's what I think we should do together. As Mr. Jendrikas said earlier, how to collaborate with the organization. With the IPI, sir. You can see the organization here, and I think this is what should be done. Collaborate with different parties, because in the cyber age, there are many cyber armies, because we also have to build our own troops.

9:37

And I think the I think the And I think the Ustakawan should be the general in the midst of the great competition, in the midst of the great competition right now to control information and trigger the Ustak's anger. The Ustakawan is the main general, not only to lead the strategy, but also to directly face the military.

10:08

The skills for that are the most important. The most trained to be able to provide the data, the most critical to see the information that is available, that should be the most important. And once again, if I have an army there, there must also be an army that is as strong as that. And I believe that those duties will be able to be maximum because this is an endless struggle.

10:37

And once again, the real challenge is the people who are currently in the space. God willing, together, I have read the book "Hanis 1" and I am very happy that the Prophet said that the ustakawan will be the main one, or the same as the ustakawan haswana. That means the challenge will increase, there will be many stars, and this war cannot be won together. Ameen. Thank you, God willing, for your support.
