Trends in the Adoption and Acceptance of Technology: Challenges and Open Issues

The year 2020 was unprecedented as the whole world went into lockdown due to the pandemic of Covid-19 resulting in loss of education. The main objective of this systematic literature review is to observe the trend within technology acceptance and adoption. Through systematic search by the use of PRISMA, the review has identified 14 relevant studies ranged between 2018 and 2021. The main finding indicates that the core variables are either exogeneous or endogenous. The findings also confirm that most variables were used over and over again with different terminologies. There were 11 core variables used prior to the pandemic and in the current pandemic situation. This study also finds gaps in current work and recommends areas for future studies.
