Abstract The acceptance of Technology by users is a topic that has been studied many times and dealt with in many Information System Theory over the past years. Thus many User models of acceptance of technology have been implemented and used to better predict the use and acceptance of new technologies and systems by individuals. The Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is based on two main determinants including perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use that help systems developers manage users’ beliefs about the systems and predict acceptance for new information systems. The TAM has so far been a model that raised the most interest as to its relevance in capturing the most attention of the Information Systems community. This literature study
