Laws Better Catch up with Technology

These two reading were so enlightening. I can't believe Congress has not acted sooner on updating laws regarding the ever increasing technical world. I am not to concerned about my search engine history being released over legal matters or government concerns. I think if that history is needed for legal matters then by all means, look into it. I am more concerned with my credit card number getting into the wrong hands and from what the article said, there is a good possibility that could happen. I do think there are privacy laws to be considered and with the internet and there should be more laws with better guidelines outlining what should or shouldn't be legal.
The second article was interesting as well. With the booming technical world people are concerned about who has the most power regarding the internet. Just as the article says, if new proposals are accepted, this could sureably alter the flow of commerce and information on the World Wide Web. Any way you look at it, we are in for quite a ride as we try to figure out what to do with this ever growing, advancing technology.
