Back in the day (cue dial-up sounds), using a computer meant typing out commands like mkdir (that’s “make directory,” for the uninitiated). Want to open a folder? You had to ask politely —in DOS.

Some innovations, like cell phones and smartphones, were adopted quickly, while others—like telephones and washing machines—took much longer.

Generative AI : Generative AI has achieved a 39.5% adoption rate after just two years , compared to 20% for the internet after two years and 20% for PCs after three years. Slower Adoption Telephone : Invented in 1876, the telephone took nearly a century to reach widespre...
