International Conference on  E 12110678  
uNew Media and Human Civilization" 
Background 
The emergence of new media technologies, also referred to as information and 
communication technologies (lCTs), and recognition of their role in social, political and 
economic development in the world, has enhanced media for development activities 
globally. From personal computers, internet with wireless connection and digital 
cameras to cable television, two­way call­in radio, mobile telephones and other digital 
devices, these have all contributed to the changes in information dissemination, while 
making sharing and networking possible among individuals and organizations almost in 
every field of development. 
Indonesia is the 3rd largest wireless market in Asia, behind China and India in terms of 
the number of subscribers. By the end of 2010 Indonesia had 235.8 million wireless 
subscribers. Indonesia was also ranked as the big four largest Internet users in Asia by 
March 31, 2011. The growth of t he new media across the globe is overwhelming and has 
become a necessary condition for the development of h uman civilization. 
However, the effect of t he new media on the civilization has not been fully explored. 
Scholars and researchers have explored the critical role of new media and 
communication in bringing about change at various levels ­ individual, community, 

society, national and international. The formation of network society, the glocalization 
and the tension of local and global culture and identity, and the opportunity: barriers, 
and dangers of t he new media in the society need to be examined and revisited. 
This conference is dedicated to answer the interests and collaborative contributions of 
researchers, scholars and practitioners in the area of new media and larger discourse on 
human civilization. 

Objectives 
1.   To explore the roles and potentiality of the new media in human civilization and 
its barriers and dangers. 
2.   To provide opportunities for scholars and practitioners to share their knowledge 
and to get involved in discourse on new media and all  aspects of human 
civilization.
