Questions: Which of the following is NOT a reason why regulating technological progress is often very difficult: Technological evolution is effectively impossible to predict. Law tends to lag behind the faster rates of technological change. Government representatives argue too much and can never make up their minds. Technology development and growth occurs at the global-scale, but regulations only reach as far as the locality or nation-state that chooses to create and enforce them.

The answer is Government representatives argue too much and can never make up their minds.

This is a valid reason. The rapid pace and unpredictable nature of technological advancements make it challenging to create regulations that can anticipate future developments.

This is also a valid reason. Legal frameworks and regulations often take time to develop and implement, whereas technological innovations can occur much more rapidly, leading to a lag in appropriate regulatory measures.

This is NOT a valid reason. While political disagreements can slow down the legislative process, it is not a fundamental reason why regulating technological progress is difficult. The primary challenges are more structural and inherent to the nature of technology and law.

This is a valid reason. Technological advancements often transcend national borders, making it difficult for any single country to regulate effectively. International cooperation and agreements are often required, which adds complexity to the regulatory process.
