Is the design of technologies in the hands of the sorcerer’s apprentices?

Opening presentation and chair:
Daniel KAPLAN, Chief Representative of the FING (New Generation Internet Foundation)
Technology is not neutral. Each major innovation will upset existing balances : individual liberties versus people’s security or object’s traceability (RFID chips, nanotechnologies …), individual rights (private copy with digital technologies) versus intellectual property rights, data sharing logic or networks’ centralised (DNS) versus economic intelligence, etc… These innovations may sometimes succeed in making diffulties for the existing legislations, especially national rights (Internet and the presidential election surveys, the « Yahoo Case », some anti-copy technologies, etc …). Does the technology design itself carry a kind of « soft » regulation ? Is technology design a « political thing » ?
Michel ALBERGANTI, author of “Sous l’œil des puces, la RFID et la démocratie” [“Under the watchful eyes of chips, RFID and the democracy”] Actes Sud, 2007
Christian HUARD, President, ConsoFrance
