We’ve heard about or seen those who are the early adopters, pioneers, and first to adopt any given technology. The very earliest innovators can sometimes be shunned and other times admired. Early Adopters are followed by later growing waves of the population, first by the early majority. Understanding the future begins by deeply understanding these unique buyers.
The Adoption Summary section of TUP 2016 includes a complete profile of Connected Adults. The three banner points are PC Adoption Stage within Age, Mobile Phone Adoption Stage within Age, and Tablet Adoption Stage within Age, each splitting out Early Adopters, Early Majority, Late Majority, and Laggards, with respect to when they first adopted the given technology as compared to others of their same age.
This section includes the answers to the most-relevant questions in the comprehensive TUP survey.
