Digital technologies acceptance/adoption modeling respecting age factor

Abstract

New technologies are needed to ensure a targeted development of the economy which measures the well-being of the population and the quality of life. For the technology to be successfully implemented, it must first be accepted, but then adopted. It’s not always the same thing. The aim of the study is to identify age groups that are prospective and responsive to the introduction of new digital technologies. An Acceptance/Adoption/Age (3A) model based on systems dynamics simulation is being examined. The model respects the age group of the potential adopter and allows for predicting possible results of the introduction of new digital technologies.
