Technology adoption refers to the process by which individuals or organizations start using new technologies. This can include anything from smartphones to software applications. The adoption process often involves several stages, including awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and eventual integration into daily routines or business practices. Factors influencing technology adoption include perceived benefits, ease of use, and social influence. For example, the Diffusion of Innovations theory explains how new ideas spread through cultures. Understanding these factors helps businesses and developers create products that meet user needs and encourage widespread acceptance.
