Observation #6

I know from experience that getting older generations into the newer technologies is a challenge. I frequently get phone calls about how to run certain things or how to make programs work. I think one of the reasons that they don’t embrace the new technology is they think the older things work just fine and it is just a trend that will disappear by the time they understand it. Although in some cases this may be true, for the most part it’s not. My parents will never get the new technology, but they will get it when it has been out for three to four years. I feel that if the new technology was brought in slower to the media it would pick up faster because people would be able to trust it and make sure it is good before they buy it.
