The Impact of the Latest (2008-) Economic Crisis on Ict Products
نویسنده
چکیده
The present research confirms that during the most recent (2008-) economic crisis, ICT indicators showed deviations from the classical diffusion of innovation trends with regard to individual ICT components. The reason for the deviations should be sought in economic, but also social, cultural, political and other influence factors. During the latest crisis (2008-2011), we thus observed the following deviations from the classical diffusion of ICT innovations: a slower process of diffusion and a smaller population adopting innovation, a delayed adoption of innovation by the majority, a faster adoption of innovation due to the incentive impact of the crisis, and a longerlasting use of innovation. Our research, therefore, enabled us a critical evaluation of certain theories, while it also allowed us to develop an alternative view, in particular of the impact of individual technologies on the economy, society, etc., and vice versa.
