Technology changes fast enough that we can't etch a law into stone before the technology makes the law obsolete (not to mention the technology!).
Exactly. And the only legal solution is to pass MORE NEW LAWS. This is unfortunately the case with much more than just technology law.
Personally, I think it is dumb to claim that one field is more difficult to master. There is a great deal of similarity between the fields of law and technology, in that in order to truly excel in either, knowledge of current developments isn't enough. That is to say, the material is cumulative.... You need to know the history of the field to truly appreciate and understand what is going on on the front lines.
