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%)

    My kids are always the first to talk to me about new technology......and they are really great at convincing me that I "need" to have this, or I need to sign up for this. Amazing......maybe I should take a lesson from them and learn how to convice them that they "need" to clean up their rooms!! lol!!

    My husband has an online business so he is "in the know" when it comes to new tech savvy stuff. So he is usually the one that lets me know, more as a hint as to something HE might like in the future.

    My kids always learn about new technology before I do and I trust their advice on what to use and what not.

    Whenever I hear about a new technology it peaks my interest and I try to find out more about it.
