Embracing Smart Living: Exploring Factors Influencing the Adoption of Smart Home Technology
摘要
This research aims to investigate the factors affecting the acceptance and use of smart house technology. As it records one of India’s highest literacy rates, a sample of 170 respondents living in remote areas within Kerala was taken. Through talking to potential users as well as doing an extensive literature review on the subject we were able to identify what drives the adoption of smart home technologies. According to this research, many key drivers motivate consumers’ decisions towards embracing smart house technologies including social influence, ostentation of social status, hedonic motivation, attitude, perceived ease of use, perceived connectedness, and performance expectancy.
