From Verbeek’s writing (Mod 7, Reading 4) Designing the Public Sphere: Information Technologies and the Politics of Mediation

The new regulations and the markets, businesses, groups, and individuals creating and using them, should look at Verbeek’s  accompaniment perception. I believe that there should not be any banning from any markets, businesses, groups, nor individuals. By banning anything, we prevent the negative getting out, but also  withhold the positives. So regulation should center boosting up the benefits and diminishing the negatives. 

In this situation, everyone has to know what to follow and what to stay away from. As grown adults, we need our own knowledge of things and need to make decisions for ourselves. We have to question everything ourselves. New technologies and advancements may have a negative impact on society but these regulations may be a way to protect us. When it comes down to it, we need to know what’s going to benefit us and be safe for us as a society.  But I also feel like education plays a huge part when knowing what’s best for us a society and making decisions.
