"Use social media for making good changes, changing mindset, way of thinking or paradigm so that the benefits of openness, digital economy would really bring advantages to our nation and our country," he said at a meeting with millenials of BUMNs at The Telkom Hub here on Thursday evening.
People must use social media with a sense of responsibility, he added.
"This is important because the new technology is like that meaning it must be used with a moral standard higher than the technology itself," he said.
Jokowi inaugurated "The Telkom Hub" that day as a means of developing digital culture of the Indonesian community, advancing economy and developing digital entepreneurship.
On the occasion President Jokowi also called on BUMNs to be responsive and quick in making decisions with regard to making them able to take opportunities that come and make innovations to develop their businesses.
