This study aimed at measuring the index of disposition towards technology in the context of the state of Alagoas in Brazil. The study was based on Parasuraman (2000) Technology Readiness Index (TRI). A descriptive research of quantitative nature was made, starting from a non probabilistic sample, with a structured collecting and analysis procedure. The sample was composed of 326 people, with an error margin of 5.4% and a confidence level of 95%.We noticed that people, who deal with technology at work, present a significantly higher TRI than those who don't. We have also observed that families using technology at home may significantly affect the TRI of its members. As a contribution to the academic world, the research described a revision and a practical application in relation to the phenomenon of high technology products and its connection to the process of adopting them.
