Today’s graph is messy at first glance. After you read my comments, simply click on the larger version to review in-depth. The colored lines show how fast different technologies have been adapted over time.
Here are a few of my thoughts:
–In general, we adopt technology pretty rapidly in the US.
–Look for the number of people and adoption percentages. In America, we have a supermajority of all people who have adopted and use all kinds of technology.
–The pace of adoption is speeding up. Any new technology in the 2000s has had a meteoric adoption rate.
All this leads me to say: more to come. Keep using new technology because the pace is going to get even faster—especially in commercial real estate.
Email me if you want to discuss this any further.
