The whole world of technology revolves around computers and the emergence of the networked information economy. The boom in technological world is everlasting given, launches of new gadgets every single day, laws governing the same has to be altered and should be kept in pace with advancements. One common sense that would work here is laws dating back 100 years may not be sufficient to govern and curb immoral activities being done today. While law works within borders, we deal with something called technology, which is borderless. Nevertheless, we are fortunate to have many farsighted law makers who were able to make their mark on this unchartered territory.

Law and technology are inter-dependent and inter-related where amendment in laws related to technology keeps taking place and technology keeps upgrading. This is exactly why, we as humans also have to keep growing and upgrading ourselves with the evolving technology. Our main objective apart from trans versing information irrespective of territory should also keep in mind the importance protecting the same information against ignominy. Highly imperative topic under technology any day would be telecommunication. As internet becomes more widespread and affordable, global telecom has grown with its adoption.
