It likely will never 'keep up' and really, the law never has been 'up to date' with technology. American law
allows most things until a lawyer is needed and then makes a decision to forbid or not (this is law, so there are many exceptions). We are a common law system (except Louisiana), not a code law or theocratic law system [0]. As such, the law will inherently lag. Remember, we are dealing with humans here, nothing can be perfect nor can we anticipate the ingenuity of idiots.
