The term “J curve” is used in a myriad of ways to explain various fields: balance of trade model, private equity, stability vs. openness, medicine, political science/revolutions…
I think of a J curve along these lines: Five years ago I didn’t want a smartphone and saw no reason to ever own one. Today, I check my phone multiple times a day and use it to talk, text, tweet, surf, teach, write, find my way, locate restaurants, buy tickets, and read–to name a few.
Our lives have changed dramatically because of technology, and whether we like it or not, life will change more suddenly than the past. That’s the J curve. Who knows what things will look like a few years from now. What will we be wearing? What will we be eating? Will technology eventually become so small it’s invisible?
How does that change us?
RISE AND CONVERGE 
Interesting, but would benefit from a graphic, as well as the illustration. Thanks!
