Why do certain people adopt technologies sooner than others? pros and cons.
Pros-
1) The younger generation seems to be more aware of what the newest technology is and therefore they can adapt to the newer technology better.
2) If the younger generation is more aware of the new technology, word of mouth will spread more easily and the young generation will speak about this to the older generations that they have and therefore the new technology will be soon adapted by older people.
3) Younger generation will feel a bit stupid if they don't understand/know about the newest technology as they feel that their peers will know about this new technology.
Cons-
1) Older generation could be conned into thinking the technology they are buying is new and therefore buying completely the wrong thing and losing out on money.
2) Wont be seen as a technological wiz because you wont know about the new technologies.
How valuable is a social network without enough users?
A social network is not very valuable without enough users because the social network needs lots of users so that there is always someone there to respond, comment and keep the ball rolling. Also, if there weren't enough users then the social network wouldn't be very successful and therefore won't continue being a social network.
How powerful is social influence such as peer pressure?
Peer pressure can be very powerful as it can change the thoughts one person will have on a certain subject just because their peers have a different view on the whole issue. However, if you are a person who never lets whatever view their peer has change their views than it's not very powerful as this won't effect what you think of something.
