4. I generally call them an Early Adopter as it applies to all product categories and not just tech. # The Everett Rogers Diffusion of innovations theory - for any given product category, there are five categories of product adopters: * Innovators – venturesome, educated, multiple info sources. * Early adopters – social leaders, popular, educated. * Early majority – deliberate, many informal social contacts. * Late majority – skeptical, traditional, lower socio-economic status. * Laggards – neighbours and friends are main info sources, fear of debt.
