DIFFUSION OF INNOVATION

-
Diffusion of Innovations is the explanation of how, why, and at what rate do these new ideas of technology spread. In the book Diffusions of innovations written by: Everett Rodgers published in 1962, in this he states. He also argues the point of four main elements influencing the spread of a brand-new creative idea, diffusion is the process by which innovation is communicated and the innovation has to be widely adopted in order to be self-sustain and reach the point of critical mass.

The main. Categories of people are Early adopters, innovators, early majority, late majority and laggards. This concept of diffusion of innovations was first studied by the French in the late 19th century. The five stages in the decision innovation process is the Knowledge, persuasion, decision (reject or accept) implantation, and the confirmation. The first step is when an induvial is first exposed to the innovation but has no idea about any information on it has not been driven, inspired or interested. The second step is the induvial is interested in the innovation and wants to seek out details and information on the topic and how it works. The third step is the individual l takes the concept and using the innovation decides if they should adopt or reject the innovation this is the most difficult stage the individual also weighs the pros and cons. The fourth step is the individual will use and implement the innovation to a degree depending on the outside situation and still wants to learn the most they can about this. The final and 5th step is the individual finalizes and makes her/her decision if they want to keep using the innovation and if they have made the correct decision. By using this method innovations and new technologies seems to spread, catch on to new trends and allow the early adopters to be pros. The downside is the individual wastes time of they don’t like the innovation the concept and they then would promote the product/ service or idea. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image result for diffusion of innovation pics

Crystal Ball, Thoughts on HPU

-
A sparkling rainbow of colors swirled within white-gray fog.   The fog began to part.   There within that crystal ball, my future lay before my eyes.   So many times this fall of sophomore year I’d been asked What do you want to be when you grow up?   A glimpse of what would be aligned perfectly with the vision I’d had for myself.   It’s a beautiful autumn day, not a cloud in the sky, but the air crisp with the promise of colder days to come.   With excitement and anticipation, my footsteps make noise as they stir up the fallen leaves.   It’s my second year at the High Point University (where did the time go?), and I see myself on my way to the physical therapy clinic on campus, the school of communications and the long trek to the school of business....dreaming about what senior year with the crisp fall leaves will bring me.    I know myself.   Through years of soccer, I’d been on the receiving end of PT more than once, but this time, I’m the one providing the helpful exercises,

I think in this modern-day society we should seek out more emphasis on parenting this is a very important aspect of human life it has a big impact on how you act, and effects the person you are today. Based on looking at the chapter 5 notes the different parenting styles are all on the personality of the parent and what specifically what benefits the kids more. Warmth and Control are two very important aspects of parenting and raising a child and seeing how your parents mold into the person they are in twenty years. These qualities used with these parenting styles can tell you who is more in power, who is too lenient, who is loved, who doesn’t care, who has the perfect mix of strict and fun. Looking at these particular styles has immediately 2 things that jump out at me. One if you had asked me this question a few years ago I most definitely would have a different answer on how I was raised, and Two I look back and see that my parents made most of the right calls when I was growing up

           I did my presentation on the first Tv although I did cover two different types of the Television. The mechanical and the electric television I feel these go hand in hand as one succeeds the other.  The mechanical  television  was created and made in the late 19th century 1927 to be exact. It was made by a guy named John Logie Baird, he was a Scotsman, and his creative flare credited him a great discovery we all are thankful of today. He was able to get pictures to transmit manually on a screen or blank wall. He demonstrated, built and created the first mechanical TV. He later goes on to invent the first color television in public as well as the first electronic picture Tube, for many viewers and big fans, supporters of the the television.           Although he had many advancements so did others in this industry with less, experience and more success, at a younger age. The world's first electric television was created  by a boy named Philo Taylor Farnsworth he was 21 ye
