Formation of early adopter groups

• Moving from zero first penguin is rare
• Humans have limits to the range of observation, what they can see and what they can’t.
  • 

time series variation

• 

• t=0 More “close or distant” due to existing relationships (human network)

  • I think in general it’s a higher dimension, but for illustration purposes, I’m lining it up in one dimension.

• t=1 First penguin A [movement

  • Only those nearby observe it.

• t=2 early adopter population is created by following the observers

  • Related Movements are created by followers….

• t=3 Some of the observed people move and some do not.

  • Person B, who does not move, blocks the transmission of information so that people beyond him cannot observe his movement.

• t=4

  • 
  • A new human network is formed among this “group of early adopters” that appears here and there.
    • Early adopter enrichment effect

Independent of whether the destination of the move is correct.

• Just look at your surroundings at the destination and if you think it’s not good enough, just move on further.
• This “two-step-ahead world” becomes full-blown Difficult to observe from those in the original world.
  • = Torn of the world
• It is rather less important whether the world is better one step ahead, and the value of maintaining information connections with hip people may be more weighty? - Why do social networking sites rise and fall? - People on the move - weak ties

relevance - The goddess of bad luck is slow on her feet.
