Inevitably, the existence of today’s computers is no longer a luxury item, this tool has been used in various fields of work, including education.

Introduction of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), is expected to make rapid changes in life, the additions and changes in the use of various ICT products.

Through tools of information and communication technology, we can find, explore, analyze and share information efficiently and effectively. ICT helps us to quickly exchange ideas and experiences from different walks of life.

The initiative is expected to develop the attitude and the ability to learn independently, so we can decide and think about when and if appropriate and optimal use of ICT, including the impact of current and future.

Information technology and communication are two aspects, namely Information Technology and Communication. Information technology, all issues related to processing, use as a tool to manipulate and manage information. While communications technology of all things related to the use of tools to process and transfer data from one device to another.

Therefore, Information Technology and Communication is an inseparable complement its broadest sense, all activities, to transfer to the processing, management and administration are connected, and the transfer and exchange of information between the media .

Specifically, the objective of studying the information and communication:

We first with the potential development of information and communications is changing so motivated to evaluate this technology and as a basis for lifelong learning.

Second motivate our ability to be able to adapt and anticipate the development of ICT, so that he can perform and live their daily life activities independently and with confidence.

Third Developing our expertise in information processing and communication learning activities to support the work, and various activities in their daily lives.

Fourth Development of skills in ICT-based learning, so that the learning process can be optimized, interesting and encourage more skilled in communication, skilled workers in the organization of information and uses it to work. Fifth Development of self-learning ability, initiative, innovative, creative and responsible use of information and communication technologies for learning, work and solve problems in everyday situations.

Currently, the Ministry of Education has a development program of information and communication technology on a large scale. There are three important positions in the Ministry program of ICT development, namely:

The first training camp was a department of ICT in SMK. ICT development is technically both hardware and software used in education kurikum. Establishment of ICT centers throughout Indonesia. To access the schools ICT focus on the WAN (Wireless Area Network) built the city.

Second Pustekkom as one of the spearheads in the development of interactive educational television, e-learning and E in high school. This program aims to reduce the gap in education quality between the big city with the region.

Third Theme (National Education Network), aims to programs before, of creating a network linking all schools in the form of Indonesia. Is expected in the future for all schools in Indonesia will connect to the Internet. Watching the program by the Ministry of Education organized can take advantage of these offers, because they are open.

A new photovoltaic material works and that is in the best solar cells, but promises to be much cheaper. The material, created by researchers at Caltech, is a flexible array of light absorption of silicon microwire and reflect light metal nanoparticles embedded in a polymer.

Computer models suggest that the material could be used to produce solar cells that convert 15 to 20 percent of solar energy into electricity – at par with existing cells of high-performance silicon. However, the issue should be only 1 percent of the materials used today, which could lead to a drastic reduction of costs. The researchers were led by Harry Atwater, professor of applied physics and materials science at Caltech.

The key to the performance of the new material is its ability to trap light. More than one photon bounces within the active part of a solar cell, the greater the possibility of releasing an electron.All cells of high efficiency solar have anti-reflective coatings to the light trap for help. However, these cells requires more use of silicon and is to be cut from wafers, a product of the process.

“The promise of light trapping has always been that you could use less silicon and reduce costs, but it was difficult to implement,” says Eli Yablanovitch, professor of electrical engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, who was not involved in the investigation .

Many groups have used structures such as nanowires and microwires in an effort to resolve this problem. Photovoltaic Caltech group, which uses silicon microwires, a new level of performance in large part due to the addition of nanoparticles of reflection.

Atwater group grew arrays of silicon microwire of a gas on the surface of a reusable model. The model determines how they are dense forests grow, and the diameter of each wire. The tables are set low, and without further processing, making a poor solar material. But the son is treated with an anti-reflective coating and a polymer-coated rubber mixed with aluminum oxide nanoparticles highly reflective. Once the sets of polymer, the whole can be peeled like a sticker.Over 90 percent of the resulting material is composed of polymers at low prices, and the model can be used again and again.

“These materials are flexible, but they have the properties of a silicon wafer,” said Atwater.When light hits the solar carpet composite, bounces around, reflecting on the alumina particles until it can be absorbed by a Microwire.

Medtronic researchers are developing a prototype neural implant that uses light to change the behavior of neurons in the brain. The device is based on the new science of neuromodulation optogenetic, in which specific brain cells are genetically modified to respond to light. Medtronic, the world’s largest manufacturer of biomedical technology, aims to use the device to better understand how electrical therapies currently used to treat Parkinson’s disease and other disorders, and relieves symptoms of these diseases.

Medtronic scientists say they will use the findings to improve electrical stimulation of the firm already sells, but others expect the time to use the optical directly as therapeutic treatments.

Today, neural implants work by delivering measured doses of electrical stimulation through a thin electrode inserted surgically through a small hole in the skull of a patient, with its tip located in a brain region located . From the S. U. Food and Drug Administration approved the Pacer “as the brains” of the devices and the processing power offered base – called deep brain stimulation (DBS) – a condition called essential tremor in 1997 for Parkinson’s disease in 2002, and dystonia in 2003, over 75,000 people had to install them. The electrical pulses are believed to counteract the abnormal neuronal activity in response to various diseases, so that doctors know little about how the DBS.

Despite his success as neural prostheses have serious drawbacks. Besides the brutal fact of their physical location, which stimulate the neurons near the electrode indiscriminately. This hyperactivity can cause dizziness, tingling and other side effects. They also produce a noise “power”, which also tracks the use of hard neural signals and simultaneous scanning systems such as magnetic resonance silence is almost impossible, which prevents researchers from obtaining evidence about how it actually works DBS
In recent years, scientists have developed a way to stimulate neurons using light instead of electricity. First, the researchers introduced a gene for a light-sensitive molecule, the channelrhodopsin 2 (chr2) in a specific subset of neurons. To shed light on blue then causes these neurons to fire. One advantage of this approach is its specificity – only neurons with the gene is activated. It also provides a way to turn off the neurons – the introduction of a different molecule, halorhodopsin (NpHR) silenced cells in response to light yellow. “This is the only other thing about this approach,” said Tim Denison, senior director of engineering CI for the neuromodulation division of Medtronic. “This allows us to silence the activity of neurons is extremely difficult with electrostimulation.

While scientists at the University to develop new tools to provide light to the brain, Medtronic is developing a database for commercial use optogenetically implant. The module, which is approximately the size and shape of a small USB flash drive, a wireless data link, a power management unit, a microcontroller, and an optical stimulator. It uses a fiber optic cable for directing light blue or white LED green neurons in the brain. The company plans to market the device to neuroscientists and used for internal research on the effects of DBS.
