Absolutely. There is a near complete disconnect between the techies and the policy makers as the actual users, the general public, are blithely going about being the first adopters. People will pay attention when shit hits the fan.

So, the question is -- what do we do?

Lists like these are great as we can collectively come up with all manner of problems. I hope we can articulate a few suggestions, and then bring the different parties together to have a conversation, convey to them the limits of both technology and policy, and emphasize that in the end known-and-proactive-expectation-adjusment may be the best way forward.
