Excellent post. Technology doesn't propagate throughout society instantaneously, people have to invest in learning to use it first. Unfortunately many people aren't willing to do that, even when the immediate costs are very low relative to the future rewards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_discounting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_discounting, thanks for that list of cognitive biases).
