Summary:This is our third study of the diffusion of technology. The titles of the previous reports clearly indicate the stages of the technologies selected as subjects of their analyses: ‘The diffusion of new technology’ [1,2] first published in 1969, followed in 1983 by ‘The diffusion of mature technologies’ [3,4]. The present paper aims at closing the circle with the analysis of the diffusion of the same technologies in recent years when some of them have been nearing — or indeed have reached — saturation.
