Markets, businesses, groups, and individuals need to all have different regulations or limitations, following the diminish of state power, intelligification and networking of the material world.
The intelligification of everyday objects, such as refrigerators, phones, glasses, and cars have become a part of our normal day to day lives. While they have their advantages, there are some disadvantages to these smart devices. An example of this is the Google Glass and its ability to provide information about people, images, and objects an individual sees. The advantages of this is that it gives a gateway to a new form of communication through eye movements, touch, and vocal input (Verbeek, p218). A disadvantage is that it can look up all the information of a person you’re looking at without their knowledge (Verbeek, p218), which is a violation of privacy.
There should be regulations or limits that focus on the privacy of the general public. They should restrict what information other people can see about you, like medical history or social security numbers should not be information that is easily accessible through technologies like Google glass. They should also focus on protecting everyday smart devices. An instance of this would be, if the government made businesses, markets, groups, and individuals implement antivirus software or anti-malware protection to ensure that there could be a less likely chance of a virus or cyber attack occurring on these devices.
