Researchers at Intel are studying why countries like Estonia and South Korea are early adopters of technology:
As for Estonia and South Korea, her team found that they both have agile governments, strong offline social networks, and major upheavals in living memory (the transition out of Communism and the Korean War). That raised the counterintuitive question: could turmoil actually be good for preparing people for disruptive technologies?
'You don't want lots and lots of upheaval," she said. "But if you do have a clear moment in the past that you want to break away from, that can help [speed adoption]."
Dawn Nafus' team will be conducting further studies to look at how technology is used in different South Korea regions.
