Distribution has become unprecedented. The rate at which consumers are
adopting technology is unparalleled in history- and accelerating. And by
adopting, I mean purchasing.
Consider this; it took over 45 years for 50% of US households to have a telephone, 15 years to have a cell phone, 10 years to get the Internet, 2 years to get the iPhone/iPod Touch, and 1.5 for the iPad. Today that’s 60 million units sold!
Moving to software, the adoption rates are ridiculous: Twitter went from zero to 500 million users in six years, Facebook from zero to almost a billion in eight. But Cityville, a silly game within Facebook, went from zero to 100 million users in an astounding 41 days.
