The ‘Technology Adoption Life Cycle’. 🔄 Imagine it as a big wave of people: at the start, we have the Innovators, those tech wizards who are the first to try anything new. 🔮Next up, the Early Adopters, the trendsetters of tech, who make things cool. ✨ Then we hit the tricky bit – the ‘Chasm’. It’s where tech needs to jump from being ‘cool’ to ‘useful’ for everyone. 🌉
Let’s dive into a fascinating exploration of how we embrace new technologies! 🚀 Ever noticed how some gadgets become a hit overnight while others take ages to catch on? This is all about the ‘Technology Adoption Life Cycle’. 🔄 Imagine it as a big wave of people: at the start, we have the Innovators, those tech wizards who are the first to try anything new. 🔮
Next up, the Early Adopters, the trendsetters of tech, who make things cool. ✨ Then we hit the tricky bit – the ‘Chasm’. It’s where tech needs to jump from being ‘cool’ to ‘useful’ for everyone. 🌉 The Early Majority are waiting on the other side, a bit cautious but ready to get on board if it seems practical. 🛤️
Following them, the Late Majority, who need a bit more convincing but will join in once they see everyone else is doing it. And finally, the Laggards, those who join the party only when they really have to. 🎈
In school, we’re zooming in on this adventure, using the GPS model: Goal, Problem, Solution. 🧭 Our goal is to get everyone on the tech wave. But why do some folks hesitate? Is it too pricey? Too complex? 🤔 We’re thinking critically to find these blockers and dream up clever ways to make tech easy, affordable, and super cool for everyone. 💡
And guess what? You’re the perfect ones to bridge this gap. Why? Because you know how to talk to all sorts of people, from your tech-obsessed friend to your grandma who’s still rocking that old-school flip phone. 📱➡️👵
So let’s brainstorm how to make tech a no-brainer for everyone! 🧠💭
