Week 13 Discussion
Weekly Topic: Regulating New Information Technologies
Part One
Why do new technologies require regulation? (try to provide 3 reasons, base them in literature as much as possible. This point should apply to all new emerging technologies)
Part Two
What do you think is a new technology that presents a significant regulatory challenge, and what do you think should be done?
CONCLUSION
Week 12’s discussion was the best yet
No points, no pressure, so more genuine discussion?
New (or disruptive) technologies often get regulated. What factors do they have in common that drive government regulator’s motivations
Part Two should be your opinion. No pressure to “write like a PhD.” Your post should say “I think regulation is needed because...” and then let us know how you’d proceed if you were the King or Queen of New Technologies
