CEVAP:

This term belongs to William Ogburn (1886-1959). Ogburn wanted to draw attention to the incompatibility that arises in the process of change in the reciprocal relationship of the material and spiritual cultures in a social system. According to him, there forms a gap when the changes in material culture are followed with a certain delay by spiritual culture (law, custom, tradition, social mentality, etc.). Especially the changes in the technology dimension of material culture enable the cultural lag to be seen strikingly. It is also an example of cultural lag when people who did not own mobile phones until recently talk on the phone in a way that annoys people in their surroundings after receiving a mobile phone.
