New Slide: Techno-hesitation, originally uploaded by mstephens7.
If we keep saying “Let’s not adopt technology X because it will soon be out of date,” we’re missing the opportunity for ongoing learning and innovation in a more experimentally-based organization. If we wait for the next big thing continually, stagnation follows.
The other issue to consider – the next version of the technology will probably be designed around the assumption that people will already know how to use the earlier version. Wait too long to adopt new tech, and you’ll be missing too much background experience to know how to use it.
