The unseen forces driving mass-market adoption of technologies - 8 lessons from season 1 of How Things Grow.

In today's episode, we take a very short break from regular programming - as I present to you my talk at my alma mater, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras last year. This is a talk called 'The Unseen Forces Driving Mass Adoption Of Technologies' - featuring 8 key takeaways from season 1 of How Things Grow. I spoke to some of the smartest engineering students in India - the Indian Institutes of Technology(the IITs) tend to be super-selective and have an acceptance rate of under 1%. Fun fact: in one of my favorite Dilbert strips, Asok says: "Luckily, I'm an IIT Graduate, superior to most people on earth, so I finished the project myself." Dilbert asks him: "Are you tired?" Asok says: "I am trained to only sleep during national holidays."( ) These were the kind of kids I spoke to. Anyway, while some of the effect is lost in podcast form because the actual talk was accompanied by a slide deck, I think you'll still find some of the takeaways & highlights from season 1 very interesting. Without further ado, here you go on my talk: The unseen forces that drive mass-market adoption of technologies - 8 lessons from season 1 of How Things Grow.
