Advances in technology will challenge and change the current manner in which legal regulation occurs. It has always been possible to describe governance and law as a form of technology in itself, but the growth of digital technologies provides a new means by which to regulate the population. This article posits the theory that the inherent characteristics of technology will become inherent within the digitisation of law. As law becomes an increasingly digital entity, it will become more concerned with perfect reproduction of law upon the person, and so more encompassing in its scope. In addition to that, the increasing use of digital technologies in augmented reality, in 3d and 4d printing, both in solid and biological matter, poses a fundamental change in the regulatory relationship between the State and the individual – a challenge which the State will need to address.
