It is important to know which technology to adopt

Technology adoption depends on very many things. It is seen that technology adoption need not always be based purely how good a technology is it can be based on other influences- like personal preferences, government polices, peer pressures, etc. For example, in the US and South Korea, CDMA technology is prominent mobile technology. However in many of the Middle East nations, Latin American countries and India, GSM rules the roost. AMD is the leading microprocessor in many countries but in India, Intel is the market leader. Linux is the de-facto operating system in many government organizations across different countries of the Scandinavian belt. Microsoft Windows is the leading operating system in most countries. A proper understanding of what the technology can do is of paramount importance before for adopting, creating tools, and technologies.
