Peter-Paul Verbeek’s article (“Technologies, Mediation and the Onlife World.”), discusses great information about information technologies and its evolution through technology and the laws being inputted around it through time.

Topic Question:
How should markets, businesses, groups, and individuals be regulated or limited differently in the face of diminishing state power and the intelligification (Verbeek, p217) and networking of the material world?

To answer how markets, businesses, groups, and individuals should be regulated or limited differently in the face of diminishing state power is through continuously finding a good line between privacy and access so that any group or business can have the most possible fair use in any cyber environment to operate. As technology evolves, we must as well to make sure that privacy and access is still a top priority as we continue to test its limits and how we can benefit through it. With the networking of the material world along with the intelligification, the same treatment can be said for those except with adding on to make sure that data is treated fairly with proper safety and use.
