Appropriate non-academic articles include newspaper or magazine articles, reports from the government, or reputable websites (e.g., a college or university that has a history section of their website). Inappropriate sources include Wikipedia and other non-verifiable Internet sources.

You need to provide multiple concrete examples detailing how the media environment was different after the innovation gained wide-spread use, or what was expected to happen if wide-spread use was achieved.
