According to Hans Jonas, there is an idea that human beings do not consider the long-term effects, positive or negative, that technological advancements have on the world at large. He refers to this as the “short arm of predictive knowledge.” In the worst possible case, a Pandora’s box might be opened, bringing in ramifications that are sometimes beyond our comprehension. We cannot predict the future, nor can we foresee the long-term consequences of our actions, but we can prepare for what is to come. No other field represents this better than cybersecurity. Cyber policies and the infrastructure for cybersecurity need to be flexible and adaptable. This means we must also ensure that we create a solid foundation for our infrastructure. This way, the infrastructure can be improved upon rather than being rebuilt from the ground up whenever a new technological breakthrough occurs. Additionally, we can ensure that we keep as many people as possible informed and up-to-date on cybersecurity to be prepared for whatever may arise. The more people are informed, the safer the environment can be. Human error is unavoidable, but we can learn and adapt. This is why, no matter how advanced the infrastructure and systems become, the human factor will always remain.
