The adoption curve in this report genuinely surprised me.
PC: ~16 years to 50% adoption. Internet: ~7 years. Generative AI: 3 years.
We’ve never had a general-purpose technology move this fast through society before. And we’re already at 88% organizational adoption.
The question I can’t stop thinking about: every previous technology wave gave society time to adapt new jobs emerged, regulations caught up, people retrained. At 3x the adoption speed, does that adjustment window even exist this time? What happens if it doesn’t?
