Abstract

Summary form only given. This paper deals with the hidden information in a diffusion curve. The existing model is clarified by simplifying it and in addition to this a deeper psychological dimension is added to the scheme. There is no diffusion without context, technology and infusion. In this work is presented a psychological time-orientation fire wall which is steering the use of the capabilities of mobile phones. From this point of view it can be claimed that present and future-orientated persons are potential users of new mobile phone services. It is possible to understand that, in certain conditions, the present and future-orientated persons act in the same way. The individual combinations of two or more time orientations in different kinds of mobile contexts make the schema interesting
