Entering the 18th century, rapidly growing knowledge of this century is often referred to by centuries of thought. The 18th century was the century of knowledge discovery range, good science, social science, or technology. The discovery in the early century technology is the technology that brings the world to grow further and faster than the previous time. Along with that, the growth of nations and all well peradabannya quickly drove up to the 21st century man is capable of creating a variety of equipment and advanced technology. Development of science and technology accelerates, support to develop a wide range of industries in many countries including Indonesia.
In Indonesia, science and technology began to evolve since Dutch colonial times. Development of science and technology in the colonial period was marked by the founding of the Dutch foreign private enterprise, religious and educational mission of the West.
