The other technology adoption curve

I am thinking of a technology.

This technology disrupts the spaces it exists in.

This technology helps navigate the spaces it exists in.

This technology is seen as good, ill, or neutral depending on an individual's experience with it.

This technology demands resources beyond our current ability to supply those resources.

This technology is developed, funded, and promoted by the worst people with the worst intentions.

This technology is developed, funded, and promoted by the best people with the best intentions.

This technology does things with the commons that challenge existing legal structures and threaten to upend society.

The benefits of this technology disproportionately benefit people who already benefited from previous technologies.

This technology potentially allows more people to see that same disproportionate benefit.

The cost of adopting this technology fails to account for its negative impacts on the world around it.

This technology may turn out to be a footnote, a deadend, or a stop along the way to a different technology that makes history.
