Technological Adoption Lifecycle

The Technological Adoption Lifecycle describes how different groups of people begin to use new technologies over time. It starts with innovators who eagerly try new ideas, followed by early adopters who accept technology quickly. Then come the early majority who adopt once they see benefits, and the late majority who are more cautious. Finally, there's the laggards who adopt only when necessary or traditional. This cycle helps explain how new technologies spread through society, highlighting the varying attitudes and timing of adoption among different groups.
