Crossing the Chasm with Jeff Goldblum

Bridging the gap to mainstream tech adoption.

Bridging the gap to mainstream tech adoption.

Last week, Chris Handy shared this old Apple ad from 1999 featuring Jeff Goldblum. It’s a great example of Crossing the Chasm, a concept made famous by Geoffrey Moore. The concept refers to the challenge that tech companies face when trying to transition from serving early adopters to reaching a broader mainstream market. As Chris mention in his post: “These days it’s hard to imagine a life without computers, devices, connectivity. But there was a time when people didn’t get it. They didn’t think of themselves as “computer people.” Apple’s product marketing team knew how to bring them along.”
