Everett Rogers Everett M. Rogers (March 6, 1931 – October 21, 2004) was a communication scholar, sociologist, writer, and teacher. He is best known for originating the diffusion of innovations theory and for introducing the term early adopter. Rogers was born on his family's Pinehurst Farm in Carroll, Iowa, in 1931. Rogers had no plans to attend university until a school teacher drove him and some classmates to Ames to visit Iowa State University. Diffusion of innovations[edit] The diffusion of innovations according to Rogers. When the first edition (1962) of Diffusion of Innovations was published, Rogers was an assistant professor of rural sociology at Ohio State University. Rogers proposes that adopters of any new innovation or idea can be categorized as innovators (2.5%), early adopters (13.5%), early majority (34%), late majority (34%) and laggards (16%), based on the mathematically based Bell curve.
