I found this post at Makezine blog yesterday, at lost knowledge colums. As it says, lost knowledge column explores the possible technology of the future in the forgotten ideas of the past, an improvised “street tech” of village artisans.

The story is about people in Papua, with their knowledge, lost knowledge, modified tools to make them more useful for their daily life. I kind of surprise reading this article. Didn’t expect a street tech technology from small village in Papua appear in Makezine.

In that story, there are a blacksmith, who modified a chainsaw become a Sago Grinder (Sago is staple food in Papua). I think many limitedness in Indonesia make people more creative. This make me remember a post in ‘Padepokan Budi Rahardjo’ about Bandung creative city, may be one of the most creative city in this world, no support from government, but creativity still appear more and more.
