- How should markets, businesses, groups, and individuals be regulated or limited differently in the face of diminishing state power and the intelligification and networking of the material world?
The world of technology has increased more recently, so we as business people, individuals, and groups also need to increase our knowledge about technology. This increase is seen is things like televisions, phones, and computers/laptops. Intelligification of technology is almost like that piece of technology has a brain for its self. This idea of having this type of advancement in the technology world is one that will be useful, but it is something that should be regulated. As stated by Verbeek, “the boundaries between the public and the private will need to be drawn again, when a quick glance at somebody’s face reveals all their activities on the internet” (Verbeek, p218). It is important to make sure that people still have the privacy they need as technology becomes this advanced. It is also important to know who would have access to this type of technology. The issue of security becomes prevalent because there is already an issue with people using technology in order to gain access of information they are not supposed to. This new type of technology could be dangerous for cyber security and with how information is secured. I think it is important that we as humans continue to grow our technology world, but allow it to help us instead of hurt. As this technology world goes it is important that ground rules are put in place, but also rules for each establishment need to be put in place. Overall the privacy and security of individuals should be the most important thing to remember as the technology continues to advance. Whether it is an individual, business, or groups each one should have rules they need to follow. This allows individuals to feel safe as their world around them is advancing and learning the new technological features around them.
How should we approach the development of cyber-policy and infrastructure the “short arm” of predictive knowledge?
Overall cyber-attacks are becoming more and more frequent, so companies need to gain the knowledge about cybersecurity and cyber-policy in order to protect their company. First a company needs to discuss with all employees their cyber-policy. This makes the policy known to everyone in the company which can lead to having a successful cybersecurity program. The policy is one of the most important parts about the companies’ cybersecurity program due to be able to just be ready for a cyberattack to occur. This allows the company to make the damage to their company less than if they were not ready for the attack. One difficulty is that people are finding new ways to commit a cyberattack very quickly which makes it difficult to make policies. This is why when policies are made they should be very simple in order to try to cover the basics that could occur. Also it is important to look ahead in order to try to lessen the damage that occurs from the cyberattack.
