Innovators (2.5%) – brave, pulling change, important communication tools
Early Adopters (13.5%) – respected, leaders, try new ideas but in careful way
Early Majority (34%) – thoughtful, careful, accept change more quickly than average
Late Majority (34%) – skeptic, only try new things once majority are doing it
Laggard (16%) – traditional people, caring of old ways, critical of new ideas, only accept change if it becomes mainstream
