When it comes to technology (e.g., a new
Internet application, the latest recording
equipment, or an innovative automotive
device) are you a change agent, an early
adopter, an opinion leader, or an opinion
follower? What is it about you that determines where you stand in the process of the
diffusion of innovation? Do you know any
technological early adopters? What makes
them similar to or different from you? Do
you think there are gender differences—that
is, are there some innovations in which one
gender rather than the other might be more
likely to take the lead? Why or why not?
