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%)

    I was influenced by the media. I keep hearing how people were using facebook and twitter to communicate. Then I decided to give it a try.

    My friends mention the product and suggest it to me. If they are happy with the product then I go and buy it. I trust their judgement.

    I really love technology and because it is changing constantly, I like to stay on top of things. It also really helps to be knowledgeable about current technology.
