Description

Watch episodes on YouTube.

Your host, Josh Levine, talks with Justin Lokitz, business design expert, the chair of the design MBA at the California College of Art and serial entrepreneur. On this episode of Great Mondays Radio, Josh and Justin explore the “Technology Abandonment Curve”—a fresh framework that flips the traditional innovation adoption model on its head. Together, they unpack the cultural shift away from once-beloved tech, how user ethics play into quitting platforms, and why it’s time to reclaim agency in our digital lives. From Teslas to TikTok, it’s a timely conversation about choice, design, and the future of user power.

Background for this episode: The Tech Abandonment Curve: Inverting the Adoption Model to Highlight User Power Against Late-Stage Social Media and Time to Reach 100M Users.
