Prompt: 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?  PLEASE SEE RUBRIC for grading details. 

BLUF: I will be discussing how we should be regulating and limiting markets, businesses, groups, and individuals when in the face of diminishing state power and the intelligification and networking of the material world? 

Regulating Technologies

[1]     I believe we should not do with technologies like Google Glass that would be invading upon humanity’s private lives and information. If someone can look at your face and get a bunch of information on you and the stuff you do it would be dangerous and change human interactions as a whole. With these blurring of lines between what we do as people and the technology helps us with we lose sight of our humanity. The government needs to assess what would be good for humanity as a benefit for this technology and what the downsides would be for the same technology. They would need to put a ban on the parts that raise concerns and could do harm as a result. Next I would like to talk about the blurring of humans and information technology.

Blurring of Humans and Information Technology and How to Approach

[2]     As information technologies begin to develop more and more the blurring between us and it blend more and more. As this happens and the standard changes we need to implement a framework that tells companies and the law what is okay to do and what is not okay. By developing an understanding of how these technologies affect us and getting involved with limiting and regulating them, we are able to develop a framework that helps information technology thrive as a positive for humanity by critically developing it and being explicit of what these devices can do for us. Now to conclude my post I would like to discuss everything we went over.

Conclusion

In conclusion, with the developments of these new Augmented Reality technology that could change the way humans interact with each other we need to set standards for these tech companies of what to include and what not to include as not regulating it could be for the worst of humanity. By taking the steps day by day working with the companies to develop a net positive for humanity with regulation, we can ensure everyone is safe while benefitting from the technology.
