Blogography: The Six Stages of Technological Acceptance

Blissful Ignorance – People seem to start in a state of blissful ignorance. They are not aware of what is going on around them and frankly don’t care.

Denial- People have heard about this new technology, but it’ll never take off and its not something they will ever need to know.

Anger – People don’t get why everybody else thinks the technology is interesting and they don’t, so they get angry.

Acceptance – Finally people come to the conclusion that if enough people think the technology is interesting, they better start learning about it or risk being left behind.

Understanding – The light-bulb goes on and people start to get why the new technology is so interesting.

Enthusiasm – People get good at the new ways of thinking and actually start getting other people interested in the technology.
