This is a good graph on adoption of various technologies in the past I found on Blu-ray forums / AVS.  As you can see, these technologies aren't accepted over night and are often met with alot of resistance in the first years.  BD has already surpassed LD in two years what LD did in 20 years.

if you believe these charts dvd, only has a 40% market penetration right now

who did the research on these?  does it include gaming stations? how about computers that play dvds? 

also the B&W tv chart is waaaaaay off. B&W tv was available in the late 1920s, and color as early as 47. 

 

 

DVD was the one with the fastest adoption rate - close to 70%.  CD had close to 50% by 1998.  Was B&W commerically available from the 1920s and color from 47?

 

unfortunately, I don't know the BG info on the graph, so take it as a grain of salt for now.  I will try to find more

 



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials
