The life cycles of technological innovations can be described using an ‘S-curve’ which maps the financial return of the technology over time. In the early stages, the technology is immature and requires investment to develop. Over time there is a positive return as the technology is adopted, before an eventual decline as the technology reaches its limits and becomes replaced by new technologies.
