4.6.7 Over adoption

Some times people may continue to adopt an innovation rather vigorously, when experts feel that it should not be done so.

Eg. trawling , use of antibiotics in shrimp culture

Over adoption produces negative effects and may cause distortion or deterioration of the related systems. Insufficient knowledge about an innovation and inability to predict its consequences generally leads to over adoption.
