Train for Archipelago country

Train, as we know it is one of the mass transport mode, this mode has been exist since early 1800's this breakthrough has made people move faster, economic growth move rapidly in early england, and soon in the continent. Train make it possible to transport raw material easily, transport people far distances in short time, because it's so mind blowing, people had to make time zone to standardize time when you arrive in the destination, maybe when we travel by horse or something else we don't need time zone. but train force us to standardize it.

as a fans of train, it made me thinking what goods that it brings to my country which is an archipelago country, the main idea of train is some big chunk of metal move in rapid speed on the rail, which is brilliant idea in continental country or at least like england where there are only 2 main island, for us? with 57.000 island and 6 main island i find it hard to help.

some say trains are not for us they say what this country need is an airplane, a small airplane to move freely from one island to another, well that saying can be right, but for industrial head like me, i think it's not good enough, with airways maybe we can transport people in short time, but not in a massive way, and i think thats why i don't see any progress with my island (kalimantan), south kalimantan to be exact in the last 10 years, why? because the transportation growth to these area are slow

then some question emerge, why can we make train that can reach many island in the archipelago country one like indonesia. my idea come from integrating boat with train, i called it water railways the idea is so simple, it's to give boat a railway so it can move faster, but what kind of boat you may ask, well it's not just a boat it's more like a half bullet train half boat, so it can move with the wave and all sort of thing in the ocean.

just imagine we have to make bridge that long, in what cost? in what time? is it applicable to other island? i dont think so.

well i'm not able to design it more detail because of my lack of understanding with hydrodynamics and other things related to that so if anyone want to help i think that's just wonderful.

3D Printing IS the FUTURE

do you know 3D printing? no? then you must've been truly late for what was happening in the world right now, imagine like some god that can create anything from nothing, well the main idea about these printer is like that, you can make something real from just a bunch of useless pellet, and the process also fast and easy *well it's not that easy actually but you get the point, i think this invention could lead us to another segment of industrial revolution

back then, james watt make an incredible invention with his more efficient and more practicable steam machine you see newcomen was the first who found those thing yet the industrial revolution just begun when watt introduced the one that more 'people friendly'

i can say that's what happening to this technology right now, but with information revolution today, almost everyone get their hands on this technology just right away thus make this technology grow rapidly, in just 2 years the growth had reach 50% and keep going, some says technological market grows really fast, and reduce really fast too, just like smart phone market, when you're saving for this year model the new model will come up just 6 months after.

but this technology not like smart phones in any way, this technology more manufacture-like than consumer-like, just imagine this technology replaced all lathe machine, all CNC machine or even small drilling machine all over industry, and it's just as realistic as it sound, nowadays even metal can come out from these badasses machine

what i'm thinking is that do we really ready to embrace this technology? or we just seen it as passer-by like what we do to soo many other thing like virtual reality, solar panel etc. come on i mean this is new future in front of us, let's together embrace it and put our effort, thought also soul in this technology for i'm sure whoever grab this opportunity soon will have whole world in their hands.

Are Military logic hierarchy still relevant today?

 as we know, present generation today include some generation X, a lot of generation Y and still incoming generation Z, which led us to some challenge that different than we know today, Schroer says each generation really differs from one another you see in generation X's early life this generation whose born between 1966-1976 really have low enthusiasm about their environment, mostly call skepticism, so in other word we can say this generation don't ask question a lot, at least not as many as generation Y

generation Y whose born between 1977-1994 had really intense interaction with media, with internet and all sort of stuff which make data travelling so much easier and faster, this generation can't be easily 'fooled' just because they have seen it all, so it makes them less brand royal, and thus make them really flexible about their way, we can say this generation will always develop as long as they feel they need to, meanwhile generation Z whose born between 1995-2012 we cannot conclude anything from this generation just because it's still growing rapidly but most people will agree this generation will interact with much more diversity between them thus make them really flexible and even more develop than generation Y, but whether it's going to be like that or something else we cannot tell yet.

so base on that we can conclude that mostly what consist in society right now was generation Y, which means this internet society will always be growing rapidly, ideologically and socially. meanwhile generation X still exist and become the guardian of value among society, because their nature which just don't care and just passing what have given to them by their elders, generation X still maintaining whats good in the past and apply them to today society, well in some case the failed because it's not relevant anymore (such as company culture;political campaign;marketing strategy;etc) but still there's some part where they still exist.

what i'm talking about is in military organization, not many military organization as i recognised but my own country, as we know how people get educated in military academy or such they begin with self control, discipline and ideological reason, and heres what interesting, in ideological reason about what they must do and what they not permitted to do is thought through doctrine which thought each day 24/7 which basically include command hierarchy,that include  command,control and communication inside them we  often hears "never questioned your superintend" or "senior always right", and that's what made them become what they've become today as military or police force.

but as people ever said "you cannot argue with captain in a battleship,if you do, you already sink the ship"  i cannot agree more if this saying for elder generation, but with our generation? i don't think so. our generation need reasoning, our generation need cooperativeness without that, it's just like you are killing this generation and make them 'your' generation like what doctrine is all about. but in organizational theory stated that organization exist for the people, not as reverse.

in my opinion if military keep this style of command, these military organization will never develop, furthermore if the generation Y or Z running those organization, their true self cannot be contained forever, furthermore this command chain gives you more power as you rise above and makes you more 'free' and what i'm afraid is that when they take control and they do what they want as generation Y would do normally, without any argument from subordinate will led to something bad. these symptom not occured right now, but in 10 years we might see someone from generation Y get on top of management chain and decide to make improvement in organizational behavior and his subordinate whose generation what i don't know maybe won't be welcome as generation Y right now, and nowadays no one ever questioned that in any military organization because that's inexcusable

i'm saying this right now because i see the sign that these symptom is getting higher, *at least in my country and it makes such a bad impression about them, and the subordinate whose not allowed to speak up will not stand up and build their rage inside them, if it's not handled properly than the military organization will eventually lose their name in society and led to chaos in society itself

so my message to all military person out there, please don't feed your fear about your commander, stand up and tell what's wrong because what you doing is you're not repairing the system you're make your organization worse and eventually when you on top you'll make same mistakes and society that maybe OK in past times will change eventually and your poor organization which just stagnant from time to time will pay the price. change now, don't affraid
