Diffusion of Innovations

The technology I chose was cloud computing, which has become very prominent over the last two decades or so. Those that could be considered pioneers of Cloud Computing would be J.C.R Licklider, who originally came up with the idea, and John McCarthy, who made the prediction that computing would be able to be sold as a utility. The early adopter of cloud computing would be VMWare, who used it in a practical sense to hold the contents of virtual machines. Then, in the early 2000s, the early majority was made up of big corporations such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. The late majority would be the general public, as it was in the use of the corporations before being granted to the public. The laggards would be categorized as those who still want to store all their data on physical hard drives. For visualization purposes, it would look something like this.
