Full Title or Meme
A human's psychological state with regard to voluntary or intended use of a particular technology.
Context
The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), a model related to technology adoption and use[1] The TAM model adapted the belief-attitude-intention-behavior relationship to explain user's acceptance of technology. TAM provides a basis with which one traces how external variables influence perception, attitude, intention to use a particular technology and the actual technology use. Two cognitive beliefs are posited by TAM:
- Perceived Usefulness (PU) and
- Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU).
To those beliefs the other determinates are:
- Attitude, which includes the intentions and value system of the user,
- Support, which includes institutional support as well as friends and family.
Problems
The **Collingridge dilemma** describes the challenge of regulating new technologies:
- Early stage**: When a technology is new, its future impact is unclear, making regulation difficult.
- Later stage**: Once the technology is widely adopted, it becomes harder to control or modify.
Similar dilemmas include:
- The Pacing Problem**: Technology evolves faster than laws and regulations can keep up. https://techliberation.com/2018/08/16/the-pacing-problem-the-collingridge-dilemma-technological-determinism/
- The Precautionary Principle**: Innovations are restricted until proven safe, potentially slowing progress.
- Path Dependency**: Once a system is established, changing it becomes costly and complex. https://demoshelsinki.fi/what-is-the-collingridge-dilemma-tech-policy/
