Dorsey’s Law

Dorsey’s Law states that the number of users adopting new communication technologies grows faster than the technology's own capacity, meaning the demand for such platforms often outpaces their ability to handle all users at once. Essentially, as more people start using a new social media or messaging app, the pressure on servers and infrastructure increases rapidly, requiring developers to continually scale up resources. This law highlights the challenge of managing sudden user surges in digital platforms, emphasizing the importance of scalable technology solutions to accommodate growing user bases efficiently.
