Because technological development moves so quickly, it often outpaces changes in law and ethical norms that might be deemed necessary later. Sometimes, in the interim, people get hurt. At other times, preventive regulations may be overreactions, unnecessary to prevent harms and ultimately a drag on science and innovation. Eventually, it seems, some balance is achieved, and a nascent scientific field or technology is allowed to progress mostly according to market forces.
Our technologies are certainly changing us and our planet. Largely, they have expanded our life spans and improved our well-being, but we remain, as ever, nervous about the future in light of continuing technological change, and every day we are faced with new challenges to our expectations by burgeoning technological advancement.

On December 6, 1999, after a successful landing, a Global Hawk unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) unexpectedly accelerated its taxiing speed to 178 mph and, at a curve in the runway, veered off the paved surface. Its nose gear collapsed in the adjacent desert, causing $5.3 million in damage. At the time of the accident, the operators piloting the UAV from the safety of their control station had no idea why it had occurred. An Air Force investigation attributed the acceleration to software problems compounded by “a breakdown in supervision.” A spokesperson for Northrop Grumman, the UAV’s manufacturer, placed blame for the excessive speed totally upon the operators. There was certainly some delay in the operators’ recognition of the UAV’s unanticipated behavior. Even after they realized something was wrong, they did not understand which of its programmed subroutines the aircraft was following. The compensating instructions they did provide were either not received or not accommoda
