Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations

•   Knowledge-In this stage the individual is first exposed to an innovation but lacks
    information about the innovation. During this stage of the process the individual
    has not been inspired to find more information about the innovation.
•   Persuasion-In this stage the individual is interested in the innovation and actively
    seeks information/detail about the innovation.
•   Decision- In this stage the individual takes the concept of the change and weighs
    the advantages/disadvantages of using the innovation and decides whether to
    adopt or reject the innovation. Due to the individualistic nature of this stage
    Rogers notes that it is the most difficult stage to acquire empirical evidence
•   Implementation-In this stage the individual employs the innovation to a varying
    degree depending on the situation. During this stage the individual determines the
    usefulness of the innovation and may search for further information about it.
•   Confirmation-In this stage the individual finalises his/her decision to continue
    using the innovation. This stage is both intrapersonal and interpersonal,
    confirmation the group has made the right decision.
Moore’s Innovation Adoption Rate
• Suggest that the marketer should focuses on
  group of customers at a time. Most of these
  technologies may start off in businesses. When
  thinking about our technologies we focuses on
  the business professionals first. The technologies
  will not be cheap though mainly for the rich and
  wealthy.
• Also talk about how things will only get adopted
  if there is a major new benefit that comes with it.
Critical Mass Theory

• The Critical Mass Theory explains the use of
  communication technologies being use
  worldwide. We have the power to make these
  technologies better and better. Instead of use
  waiting for things to happen we can make it
  happen faster.
Social Learning Theory/Social
             Cognitive Theory
• Social learning theory and Social Cognitive
  Theory both influence learning, socialization,
  and experience. They also relate to observing
  others within the context of social
  interactions, experiences, and outside media
  influences.
• So In 2022, the technology that we invent will
  be toward our social benefit.
Uses and Gratifications Theory

• Gratification Theory is the pleasurable
  emotional reaction of happiness in response
  to a fulfillment of a goal.
• I-phone could be a perfect example because
  apple was happy that they made I-phones and
  they achieved their popularity goal because
  everyone is buying I-phones.
Media System Dependency Theory

• Media System Dependency Theory talks about
  our relationship between the media and our
  society. The media plays a major role in our
  society.
The Theory of the Long Tail

• The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and
  economy is increasingly shifting away from a
  focus on a relatively small number of "hits"
  (mainstream products and markets) at the head
  of the demand curve and toward a huge number
  of niches in the tail.
• For example, apple is going to be selling I-phones
  forever because people love the phone and they
  keep make better versions of the I-phone to keep
  the demand high.
The Principle of Relative Constancy

• The Principle of Relative Constancy is a model
  for analyzing how much money is spent on
  media by both consumers and advertisers.
• For example, Michael Jordan pays to advertise
  on the same channel consumers pays to
  watch.
The Umbrella Perspective on
      Communication Technology



• The Umbrella Perspective is broken down into
  5 parts: The Social System, The Organizational
  Infrastructure, Hardware, Software and the
  User.
• These 5 parts helps us understand
  communication technology.
Cell Phones
Old cell Phones         Cell phones in 2022
Cloud memory
      • In 2022 this is where all
        information will be
        stored there will be no
        more need for a hard
        drive.
