Technology Adoption Models

Technology Adoption Models explain how and why people decide to start using new technologies. They identify different groups, like innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards, based on how quickly they adopt innovations. These models help understand the process of acceptance, which involves awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and regular use. By studying these patterns, businesses and developers can better design, market, and support new technologies, making adoption smoother and more widespread. Overall, they provide a framework to understand the human side of technological change.
