Stages of Adoption

The stages of adoption describe how people start using a new idea, product, or technology. First, they become aware of it. Then, they develop interest and seek more information. Next, they evaluate whether it fits their needs. If they decide it's beneficial, they adopt or start using it regularly. Over time, they become more comfortable and may even become advocates, recommending it to others. This process helps understand why some people quickly embrace innovations while others take longer or decide not to adopt at all.
