From First Printing Press to Bitcoin Adoption: Exploring Technology Adoption Theory, Disruptive Technology Theory, and Types of Resistance to Change


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the types of resistance to change that have followed every major innovation, from the first printing press to bitcoin adoption. We unpack the technology adoption theory and disruptive technology theory to explain why new ideas face skepticism and even outrage before becoming essential.

You’ll hear stories of how the technology adoption model played out across history: the invention of the printing press, the rise of paper money currency, the invention of the personal computer, the spread of the internet, and the revolutionary shift toward Bitcoin. We also explore how framing bias and sunk cost bias shape public perception of new technologies.

Whether you’re curious about the first laptop computer, want to understand how the technology acceptance model explains human behavior, or are wondering why bitcoin adoption sparks so much debate today, this episode gives you a front-row seat to the history of innovation — and how society eventually surrenders to progress.
