I'm Caleb Brown. For many varieties of emerging tech, states should play a larger role than the feds in setting the rules.

So what defines technologies where states should have the primary role?

Logan Colas with the Buckeye Institute gives his take.

Detail for me what you see as the state versus federal role in attempting to grapple with and make

widely available without undue regulation emerging technologies.

Yeah, well first I'd say that states are very valuable in this because they breed competition.

Right, so this is where you run into your talk about laboratories of democracy,

where you have different states instead of having one jurisdiction being the United States

testing on all these emerging technologies. You have 50

different states competing to decide what works best for their state. We've seen in

Ohio that there's a lot of things that we're trying to lead the way on. One thing that's

very important is to talk about broadband and why it's

important that broadband's left to the state because or if it's going if Washington's

going to be involved that they're just funneling money to states so states can

make the decisions that are best for them because

broadband is heavily dependent on terrain it's heavily dependent on whether you're

able to lay cables your costs so it's very important to try and get the

states in those power because they actually know what they're trying to do to connect people.

So what are some of the other high profile or even low profile technologies that you imagine ought to have the federal government just keep its hands off as much as possible?

Well, I think the one that comes to mind immediately is trots, right? So really, the best thing that you can do at the state level is trying to apply already existing laws to drone regulation.

So for example, like peeping Tom loss, people have a right to their privacy, so the idea is instead of creating new
