We suggest that innovators seeking to facilitate mobile technology adoption should focus on reducing complexity, and establishing calibration of complexity perceptions. We propose a lifespan mobile technology diffusion model, and call to question the language used in investigations related to the digital divide.

The concept of digital divide emerged from a perspective on unequal access to digital technology and relates nowadays primarily the differences in the competencies necessary
