Article Abstract:

The tech industry has lost focus on the most important constituency of all that is its customers as it is only when users spend money, there is a move from hobbies to actual commerce. It was found that people adopted new technologies and people changed habits when the pain of their current situation exceeded their perceived pain of adopting a possible situation, known as 'change function.'
