The innovation I will be talking about is the iPhone. a cell phone was originally invented in 1973. Now, the mobile iPhone is something practically every American uses today. This innovation caught on and spread because of the versatility of the iPhone compared to a traditional mobile/flip phone such as blackberry. You are able to google things, use social media apps, call, text, FaceTime, etc. with the iPhone. In general, the iPhone is simply a superior product than the original cell phone for these reasons.
So many people are late adopters to this out of pure stubborness I bielieve. My dad held on to his blackberry until 2018, just 6 years ago. I know from his point of view, he just didn't want change. He had been using his blackberry for many years and thought the iPhone was just too much and not necessary. He eventually realized the importance of it and how much better the iPhone is, so he bought one. The only kind of people who id say aren't adopters of this product are either the amish, or people who simply can't afford an iPhone.
The downsides of the iPhone is mainly privacy issues. You can be hacked, have your identity taken away etc. When you have an iPhone you are giving away your data and that can provide a sense of insecurity within the user.
There are a multitude of negative side effects from the iPhone. since the iPhone allows you to connect so many ways with people, I think this can lead to people becoming socially impaired because there not actually talking to people in real life. They are instead just texting as a means of communication. I also think there's a negative of you potentially being destroyed, and then your reputation and lively being ruined.
The choice of not having an iPhone vs having one is nuanced but overall I think it be much smarter to own an iPhone that not to. there 's so much versatile liked I talked about with the iPhone that I think it's much worth the purchase.
