Question 1
There are three reasons why people resist new technology. The first one is that new technology may not be affordable for ordinary people. The price of the applications using such new technology is usually high, so people will think twice before buying it. If the technology is an upgrade, people have to buy new applications in order to use the new technology, which will cost much money. Thus, in most cases people will just use the current one. There is another tendency that people will wait for the price to go down. The second reason is habit. If one is accustomed to the current technology, he will probably not apply the new tech, especially when the current tech is enough for his usage. People are used to the current technology, so they tend not to change their habit even if the new technology seems to be nice. The third reason is that people are afraid that the new technology may not be as perfect as the old one. People usually think that whatever new has to be tested. Only after a certain time or using by other people will most people accept it and try it themselves. These are the three reasons why people tend to resist new technology.
