Abstract :
A new thinking and model for technology diffusion are proposed, including many new concepts. The technology diffusion is considered to be related to four factors: the technology source, the diffusion space, the diffusion medium and the diffusion environment. Two forms of technology diffusion, the probability diffusion and the advection diffusion, are proposed in order to obtain the partial differential equations describing the technology diffusion. Some analytical solutions and their figures are shown
