I'm David Hoffman, Filmmaker, and I do these little things from time to time, but I hope my subscribers, and maybe you will find that value.

So here's the question.

What is the number of years that it took each product I'm about to share with you to gain 50 million users?

As you know, that's that Adoption curve is critical to the success of something.

I remember reading about the Brownie camera that it took, like, five years to have five million users.

So here we go.

I'm going to go from longest time.

Two.

Shortest time.

See if you find this interesting airlines.

It took 68 years for airlines to get 50 million users.

Yanks second, longest time cars, 62 years.

Telephones, 50 years.

Electricity 46 years.

Well, I understand that one, I think.

Credit cards.

28 years.

TVs, 22 years.

An A T M.

18 years To get 50 million users, computers 14 years to get 50 million users, mobile phones.

You would have thought this was two years.

It's 12 years.

I remember seeing a mobile phone in 1984 at the Olympics in Los Angeles when President Bush pulled out this block brick.

And I said, I gotta have one of those.

I think I paid 5000 bucks for Motorola from the 1st 1 12 years.

The Internet.

Seven years.

Seven years for 50 million users.

IPods.

Four years now we're getting them right.

YouTube.

Four years.

I started with you tip in 2009.

So I guess they weren't 50 million users at that time.

Facebook.

Three years.

I understand that, Twitter.

Two years.

I'm not a Twitter person.

What did the die is the number one Fastest adoption to 50 million users took 19 days.

Porn.

I bet you're waiting for me to say something about that Men, much porn.

Maybe some women do, too.

It's not going to stop.

It certainly got minor, addictive qualities.

19 days versus, let's say, the computer.

14 years.

You arrested a cell phone?

12 years.

It's all I can say about that.

Hope you enjoy this David Hoffman, filmmaker.
