  Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The notion of appropriate technology, however, was developed in the twentieth century to describe situations where it was not desirable to use very new technologies or those that required access to some centralized infrastructure or parts or skills imported from elsewhere.
Intermediate technology, more of an economics concern, refers to compromises between central and expensive technologies of developed nations and those which developing nations find most effective to deploy given an excess of labour, and scarcity of cash.
Persuasion technology, in economics, definitions or assumptions of progress or growth are often related to one or more assumptions about technology's economic influence.

 Technology lifecycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is usually technology hype at the introduction of any new technology, but only after some time has passed can it be judged as mere hype or justified true acclaim.
Because of the logistic curve nature of technology adoption, it is difficult to see at in the early stages whether the hype is excessive.
Technology adoption typically occurs in an S curve, as modelled in diffusion of innovations theory.

 Computer Technology Review: Lifecycle management drives data management's evolution from art to science
Information lifecycle management is the result of many different forms of data management (from basic back-up to business continuity to compliance) coming together under an umbrella solution for a business.
Today, data or information lifecycle management is at a critical point in its evolution, where complex management solutions are starting to be replicated and best practices or blueprints can be created and delivered to multiple businesses.
While this assumption is accurate as far as it goes, one of the primary reasons for consolidation is to manage the data through the four stages of compliance mentioned.

 The Care and Feeding of FOSS: The Lifecycle of Software Technology
Operating System technology was mature, and the basic idea of Unix (its file-system concepts, security model, memory management, and many other key features) were well understood; Linus' job was to put together a new implementation of these concepts, rather than start from scratch.
This is due to the "bumps" in the technology itself such as the advent of windowing, as well as the fact that operating systems cover a very broad spectrum of computers, from mainframes to laptops, and consolidation happened at different rates in different markets.
But when a technology matures, or when a technology is of no commercial interest, FOSS is a powerful tool that can bring the technology to the world for free.

In Moore’s model, the Innovators are called the Technology Enthusiasts (or Techies), the Early Adopters are Visionaries, the Early Majority are Pragmatists, the Late Majority are Conservatives and the Skeptics are the Laggards.
It is too late to attract new Visionaries, who are not interested because they can’t be the first to adopt the technology, and too early to attract Pragmatists, who are too risk averse to invest in solutions from anyone but established market leaders that have been referred by a trusted source.
