It's not that we closed our eyes. Instead, priority was given to the development of bills that were technology-neutral.
No one could have predicted the quantity of data and transactions an individual can generate in a day because, for example, the smartphone had not yet been invented. As consumers or citizens, we use our phone several times a day, and each time, we exchange data with the service provider we are using.
Every year, we produce more data than we have so far generated in the entire history of humanity. Thus, in 2018, we produced more data than there has been in the entire history of humanity since the very first records until 2017.
We knew that data was valuable, but no one predicted the increase in this data related to interactions between consumers or citizens and businesses, all facilitated by telecommunications technologies.
