The legislative system has always taken a long time to catch up to new technological innovations. It's certainly a problem that technology advances so rapidly now and the time scale of legislative action can't keep pace, especially given how connected the world is. No longer do laws have to keep up with new technologies that affect how we live, but now also information highways that determine what we think to some degree. I'd much rather these highways be regulated in a way that at least touches democracy than by private companies whose role it is to drive profit.
