When you start to use a new technology (i.e., iPod, Facebook, Blackberry), who most influences your decision to try it?

We all learn about new technologies from many sources, but it’s usually one person or media source that encourages us to take the final leap to try a new gadget or join an online community.  Who is that influential person or source in your life?

Tell us what you think!

My kids (14.2%)

My spouse/partner (13.1%)

A friend/colleague (36.5%)

Learning through media (news, advertisements, etc.) (36.2%)

    My husband is really tech savvy, so i learn things through him, but it's usually other friends trying new gadgets or joining Facebook that ultimately gets me to take the leap.

    I enjoy looking up the most recent advertisement on the product as well as reading blogs on the product.

    I usually join social networking when all my friends will not stop talking about it. Some networks I joined because I kept hearing about it on the news and radio.

    My friends and I like alot of the same things so I know that if it worked for them it could very well work for me. So I am more pro to try something that someone I know has tried and enjoyed.

    I always have to have my husband show me how. I learn best by watching then trying.

    Technology is a way for me to stay connected with my extended family members although it did help me connect with my hubby at the begining of our relationship.

    I like learning new things. Sometimes my husband gets involved as well.
