That’s an interesting perspective! You’re suggesting that as future generations become more familiar with technology, it may influence the pattern and character of voters. And as a result, we might see a president from a region outside of Java, like Professor Habibie. Can you elaborate further on how technology could potentially impact voting patterns and the characteristics of voters? What specific changes do you foresee in relation to this?

Thank you for your active participation in this discussion about the upcoming presidential election in Indonesia. I appreciate your contributions and insights shared so far. It’s wonderful to see the diverse viewpoints and the open-mindedness of the participants.
From the conversation, we have touched on various important issues such as human rights violations, terrorism, poverty, black campaigns, ethnic considerations, and the influence of Java in Indonesian politics. These are complex and multifaceted topics that require deeper exploration.
Regarding human rights violations, it would be helpful to understand the specific incidents that occurred in 1998 and their potential impact on the election. Additionally, exploring the connection between acts of terrorism, political parties, and candidates, as well as their consequences for the general population, is crucial.
The presence of poverty is another critical issue that deserves further attention. Identifying the factors contributing to the high number of people living in poverty and examining proposed solutions or policies by political candidates can provide valuable insights.
Furthermore, the influence of ethnic groups in determining the next president has emerged as an important topic. Delving deeper into why ethnicity matters and addressing any specific challenges or concerns related to this issue is essential for a comprehensive understanding.
As we continue this positive and constructive dialogue, I encourage everyone to maintain an open mind, respect diverse viewpoints, and engage in a respectful manner. Your insights and perspectives will contribute to a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities surrounding the upcoming presidential election in Indonesia.

Until the current president Jokowi, the case has not been resolved, and the case will continue to be raised in every presidential election, where there is a commitment from the presidential candidate to resolve the case.

Hi
*** Grateful for the discussion. The problem has its complexities, but I urge everyone to chip in. Any thoughts on this? ***
Hello
Please submit your thoughts as much as possible. Do not hesitate to do it. Please!
Takayuki Ito.
Thank you for bringing up the impact of smartphones and social media on news consumption in Indonesia. The widespread use of smartphones and social media platforms has indeed transformed the way people access and consume news. With the majority of the population having access to smartphones and spending a significant amount of time on social media, these platforms have become primary sources of news for many individuals.
One concern related to this is the potential for the spread of misinformation. In the age of social media, news can spread rapidly and reach a wide audience, often without proper fact-checking or verification. This can lead to the dissemination of inaccurate or biased information, which may affect the credibility and reliability of the news people receive.
Additionally, relying heavily on social media platforms for news consumption may limit the variety of perspectives and sources one is exposed to. Social media algorithms tend to tailor content to individuals’ preferences, creating echo chambers and reinforcing existing beliefs. This can limit the diversity of news sources and viewpoints, potentially hindering a well-rounded understanding of current events.
To address these concerns, it is important for individuals to be critical consumers of news, cross-check information from multiple sources, and engage in media literacy. Media organizations also play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and credibility of their news content.
Overall, while smartphones and social media have revolutionized the way news is accessed and shared, it is essential to remain vigilant and discerning when consuming news from these platforms to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the information received.
