Nama gang (jalan kecil) selama ini dianggap sebagai petunjuk alamat atau jalan dan lazim ditemukan di masyarakat urban yang lazim dengan relasi individualistis. Kendati demikian, nama gang kini juga mulai jamak ditemukan di lingkungan pedesaan. Namun bagaimana jika gang di pedesaan itu dinamai dengan logo dan brand telepon seluler? Tentu saja itu adalah realitas yang paradoks dan ganjil. Realitas itu merupakan salah satu dari realitas aneh di era postmodern, yang mana korporasi multinasional telah berhasil menyerang kesadaran masyarakat secara ideologis (total). Keberhasilan itu juga merupakan hasil dari kolaborasi media (teknologi informasi dan komunikasi) serta pasar yang sangat intim dan masif. Oleh karena itu, bagaimana cara kita menemukan pintu keluar dari jeratan itu?Keyword: gang seluler, postmodern, korporasi multinasional.The name of the alley has been considered as a sign of address or road and is commonly found in urban communities that are prevalent with individualistic relations. Nevertheless, the name of the alley is now also starting to be found in a rural environment. But what if the alley in the countryside is named after the cell phone logo and brand? Of course it is a paradoxical and strange reality. That reality is one of the strange realities in the postmodern era, in which multinational corporations have succeeded in attacking people’s consciousness ideologically (totally). This success is also the result of media collaboration (information and communication technology) and a very intimate and massive market. Therefore, how do we find the exit from the trap?Keyword: cellular alley names, postmodern, multinational corporation.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

If we want to convert our rural population into knowledge driven, progressive, self sufficient, self reliant, sustainable society, the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) cannot be ignored. Timely availability information is considered as most important factor in Indian agriculture. At present ICT is the technology of this millennium. Transferring the developed technology to all end users is time-consuming and tiresome task and is often not completed due to paucity of resources and lack of manpower. In India, agriculture and rural development has gained significantly from ICT due to its widespread extension and adoption. In this era of internet, ICT is committed to provide real, timely accurate authentic information to the farmers and rural peoples.
