Personally, I think they are - however - it did get me to thinking - so I pinged my friends <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=330742&authType=NAME_SEARCH&authToken=7UPH&locale=en_US&trk=tyah2&trkInfo=tarId%3A1422135018008%2Ctas%3Astuart%20robbins%2Cidx%3A1-1-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stuart Robbins</a> - and yes - <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/geoffreyamoore" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Geoff Moore</a>.
Geoff has not yet got back to me – but Stuart wrote a wonderfully considered piece (he always does) – and the line below called out particularly leapt out to me. I will add his full commentary – when I have his permission – and of course – when / if Geoff replies – with his permission will do the same. Stand by.
I don’t think it is “trickle down” technology, but technology that leaps in a viral manner across the chasm.
[Later] : This just in from another friend – thanks Larry.
Geoff’s keynote at Strata in 2014 where he addresses the relevance of the Chasm in today’s business.
And while we are on Geoff video – this one is quiet brilliant – using a video I had seen before – but describing the technology adoption lifecycle as it applies to consumers – all based on a dancing man at Sasquatch 2009.
