InfoQ Mobile and IoT Trends Report 2022

One of the most compelling InfoQ features are our topic graphs, which synthesizes our understanding of how different topics stack up in the technology adoption curve. They are immensely useful as a guide to prioritize different and competing interests when it's time to decide what we want to cover from an editorial perspective, but we also believe that sharing them can help our readers to better understand the current and future tech landscape and help inform their decision process. Topic graphs build upon the well-known framework Geoffrey Moore developed in his book "Crossing the Chasm." Moore's framework describes five stages that describe how technology adoption evolves in time, through the "innovators", "early adopters", "early majority", "late majority", and "laggard" stages. InfoQ has a leaning towards identifying those ideas and technologies that belong to the innovators, early adopters, and early majority stages. We also strive to acknowledge topics that we consider as having already crossed into late majority. You will generally find plenty of content on InfoQ about the late majority and laggards phases, as artifacts of our previous coverage.
