Hello,
Can someone point me to a downloadable diagram that compares diffusion rates for new technologies, e.g. telephone, VCR, internet etc? I've seen many versions of this sort of diagram, but can't seem to locate one that I can put directly into a powerpoint presentation. It doesn't really matter whether the data is North American or from elsewhere, it's the overall trendlines I'm interested in.
Any suggestions as to where to find something like this would be most appreciated.
Thanks, catherine middleton cmiddlet@ryerson.ca
I recollect one of the papers I reviewed for Telecoms Policy looked at diffusion, but not sure if comparative rates were used. I also remember an economics paper at TPRC, where adoption rates of different consumer devices (not quite new technologies, certainly not since the invention and application of the semi conductor / integrated circuits)) from the basic telephone onwards. Naturally I don't have anything to hand - but you might be able to locate these.
