In regards to Dr. Norton's lecture concerning the "phases" in which tools go thru leading towards their adoption by a society, I believe that this is primarily determined by expense. I propose that if a "tool" where priced at a more affordable/acceptable amount then the "rejection" as well as the "gimmick" phases would be less a part of the adoption phase, if at all. A "seqway" for example priced at $3000 may well not be rejected if sold for $500.
