In his book Crossing the Chasm, Geoffrey Moore proposes a variation of the original lifecycle. He suggests that for discontinuous innovations, which may result in a Foster disruption based on  s-curve, there is a gap or chasm between the first two adopter groups (innovators/early adopters), and the vertical markets. In educational technology, Lindy McKeown has provided a similar model (a pencil metaphorPencil metaphor ) describing the ICT uptake in education. History The technology adoption lifecycle is a sociological model that is an extension of an earlier model called the diffusion process, which was originally published in 1957 by Joe M. Bohlen, George M. Beal and Everett M. Rogers at Iowa State University and which was originally published only for its application to agriculture and home economics . building on earlier research conducted there by Neal C.
