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 usually try new products through my friends that have it and decide by trying it out through them, if it's worth me getting or something that will help me make my life a little simpler.

    Getting input from my college aged kids brings us together and gives them a chance to laugh at their mom.

    I'm usually the one to start using new technology in the household, after I get it, others ask me how it works, and what are the pros and cons of it, after that (if they have the money) they go out and buy one! :)

    When I'm looking for a new product to try I always go to the internet and forums to look at reviews for products. I can trust techie forums to give me good advice when looking for a good, new, and reliable product. I like to see what other peoples recommendations are.
