BigThink is a nifty site with video and textual contributions by big thinkers such as Paul Krugman, Jim Rogers, Ray Kurzweil, Alice Rivlin, and many others. And I’m tickled to report that it has a contribution by…me. I wrote about being a Smart Adopter, which is what I call the art of buying and using new tech products and services at exactly the right pace for you. In some cases that means being an Early Adopter; in others, it might make you a Really Late Adopter. Or maybe even a Not an Adopter at all. I can’t claim I always get the timing right, but at least I try–as I mention in the piece, I still don’t own a Blu-Ray player, and it’s possible that I never will.
If you have a sec, check out the post. I share a few tips for being a Smart Adopter, but I’d love to hear yours…
