TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE or REJECTION
With the rapid growth of the internet “technology” hacked up the whole world. In fact, we are living in an era of technology where mostly educated persons are intentionally or actually associated with technology(s).
TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION FACTORS:
When someone or a company wants to propose any new technology, they should consider two main factors:
- The first one: Is whether the proposed technology is strongly useful for a certain area or specific work. For example:
- The technology used by a doctor will facilitate him or her maintaining their schedules, appointment, patient history, etc.
- The technology used by a teacher will facilitate him or her maintaining their task list, student records, attendance, etc.
- The parental app by Beaconhouse School System actually facilitates the parents to view their child’s attendance, notifications, and easy submission of fees and etc.
- The Careem, InDrive, and Bykea apps facilitate passengers to safely reach destinations, etc.
The second important factor: Is whether the proposed technology is easy to use and user-friendly. For example:
- If someone wants to cast their vote using technology will save their time.
- The eye-catching display and easy handling of the parental app by Beaconhouse School System is a good examples of this.
The excessive use of technology is the after-effect of COVID-19, where people intentionally, forcefully, and actually used the technology because it was the need of that time but now we are habitual of this easiness and comfort. This is acceptance of technology.
There is also a very important fact about technology usage. Most people used the technology as they can afford but may not be very much useful for that person. While on the other hand people who really want to use cannot afford the expense of technology.
The feedback of technology acceptance or rejection from an inexperienced or experienced person may also differ. While taking feedback on any useful technology it should be in your mind that feedback should be from experienced people because this is a very significant fact about the rejection of acceptance of any technology.
CONCLUSION:
Although the use of technology is the demand of the current era but make sure usage should be positive and helpful. Try to use those technologies that are good for your work context.
