The term ‘technology’ is often heard today, yet few people are clear about what it actually means. Some people are even uncertain about its definition in the context of business. In simple terms, technology is any means of reaching a particular end, in this case, improving a process (i.e., an economy). Technological progress is thus defined as any improvement, development, or modification made possible by the use of innovative means.

Technological innovation definition is very important for the public and private sectors to appreciate. Without such understanding, individuals and businesses are left exposed to many risks and uncertainties. For instance, there is no guarantee that new technologies will bring about major positive changes for ordinary people in Timor-Leste. Similarly, the risks involved in implementing any change or innovation will depend on whether it will address basic problems and needs of the public or whether it is advanced and has implications for the public welfare. This calls for some research about the role of ICT-ITs in making Timor-Leste more sustainable.

ICT-ITs are defined as “new technologies that yield value to a society or the community.” They can be used to address issues like health care and education, poverty and income disparity, environmental degradation, rural development, and many others. These innovations have the potential to have a major impact on the lives of everyday citizens in Timor-Leste. Thus, relevant ICT-IT’s research must be done to evaluate the potential of these innovations for enhancing living conditions, productivity, quality of life, and social welfare.

One way to assess the impact of ICT-ITs is to look into the existing processes of the country’s economy. According to leading analysts, such research should be done as part of a detailed integrated framework for evaluating the effects of these new technologies on the Timor-Leste’s economy. This includes a comparative study between Timor-Leste’s existing traditional economy and the ICT-based one. Another aspect of this research would be to assess the potential impact on Timor-Leste’s culture and communities from ICT-based innovations. This involves looking into how the new technologies would affect the way people and the institutions interact in the country.

Agriculture is a key area of activity in Timor-Leste. Much of the produce in Timor-Leste is obtained from agricultural implements such as arable farms and small-cellulite pulp mills. A variety of agricultural technologies would be beneficial for the country’s agricultural industry. One such technology is irrigation, which would allow for greater productivity in the agricultural sector. The research should also consider the impact that ICTs would have on Timor-Leste’s rural workforce, especially its unskilled laborers who constitute the bulk of the population.

One component of the research should focus on the impact that ICTs would have on Timor-Leste’s culture and society at large. In particular, the public relations unit should conduct a training video on the topic. The video should be designed by an independent agency and disseminated through interactive means. For example, it may be delivered online or by the conventional means of regular newspaper advertising. The objectives of the Timor-Leste training video are to raise awareness among the public about the benefits of ICTs and to educate the public about the roles and responsibilities of the Timor-Leste police force.

Another component of the research should consider the role that Timor-Leste’s information technology system plays in the country’s security apparatus. Specifically, the public relations unit should examine the role that the country’s police force and its various branches play in keeping the country’s ICT system operating. Specifically, the police force trains its personnel in the proper use of its computers, equipment, and communications systems in order to ensure that the computer systems are not sabotaged. Likewise, the police force ensures that the proper safety standards are maintained through the supervision of an information technology regulatory board.

To summarize, it is important for a nation’s public relations and ICT research agencies to consider the impact that ICTs have on Timor-Leste’s culture and society at large. The impact on the police force and the roles of its various branches could be best served through an ICT-focused training video. Such a program could then prove highly beneficial to the public relations effort of both the Timor-Leste government and the Timor-Leste police force.
