>If we want behaviour and concern to be one consequence of the other, we need better education and more government action. I think government action would more align with the realities of better education. The better education aspect, however, relies on people being willing to keep-up with the growth of technology after their compulsory education ends; which is, probably, going to be your hardest sell. For those of us, for whom technology is a an every-day necessity and/or the source of our income, that premise in the interests of continued education in technology seems second nature. However, if you compare that to doctors, they're primary concern is keeping up with medical trends; so, this might be a harder "sell" to them. Instead, much like other professions have governing bodies, technology should probably have it's own. I'm thinking along the lines of things like doctors and medical review boards or lawyers and the BAR. However, there is another caveat that the governments benefit from: Ineptitude around technology is what governments actually benefit from. Telling the governments that they should care more about education around technology and creating laws to protect basic rights is going to be a hard-sell to some of them. Take the current issue with the US law versus the GDPR for a principal example. I don't pretend to have an answer but, to me, it generally comes down to whether the government is far more concerned with the welfare of itself than the welfare of people (in general).
