Toward understanding individuals� acceptance of internet of things �based services: Developing an instrument to measure the acceptance of smart meters

The benefits of new technology can only be realized when and if the new technology is widely accepted and used. Understanding the factors that may determine of an individual�s willingness to use new technology is important to improve the success rate of the implementation. The use of a smart meter a...
