A Note on "Tipping Points"
As acceptance of an idea progresses, it may encounter a 'tipping point'.
A tipping point occurs when acceptance of an idea reaches a critical
mass and a shift occurs that makes (say) acceptance of the new idea
inevitable. Such a tipping point in business may also be linked to the
economic collapse of the old model; example, it is said that when 60%
of the population had a refrigerator the economics of delivering ice
collapsed.
