With so many new technologies emerging every day, the power of the average person to influence the world is growing at an alarming rate. The fastest supercomputers from 50 years ago, costing millions of dollars, are dwarfed by the computing power of the modern smartphone. With this power comes the potential for great progress and societal contribution in a good person, but also the potential for incredible damage if a person has malicious intent. People can organize terrorist groups through the unlimited access to crazy people on the internet. They can purchase computer viruses, illegal drugs and assassins on the black market, all under the shroud of proxy servers and deep web websites. How does a democratic government produce high-quality, preventative laws quickly enough to keep up with the rapid expansion of evil? There is no way, they can only ban the vices of the modern age when they become widespread enough for everyone to notice. Instead, the modern government must focus on preventative measures, such as ensuring good morals and ethics about technology are instilled future generations at an early age, so that the vast majority will avoid using the power the technological revolution has afforded them as a weapon to hurt others.
