Abstract:：Technology acceptance has enjoyed a long, rich research history and is perhaps the most prolific research area in the Information Systems (IS) field. In this talk, we will briefly review the history of technology acceptance research and discuss the new challenges presented by the ever-evolving social and technical environment. We will also share a few thoughts on how to address these challenges. Most importantly, we call for new theoretical perspectives and in-depth investigations of acceptance of emerging technologies in the changed social environment.
