Yup. I admit that. But according to the Law of Diffusion of Innovations (Everett M. Rogers&#8217; idea in his book Diffusion of Innovations, 1962), we can categorise people into five categories: Innovators (2.5%), Early adapters (13.5%), Early majority (34%), Late majority (34%) and Laggards (16%). I belong (self-claimed) to the laggards. Yup. <\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"fgm0u-0-0\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"fgm0u-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"fgm0u-0-0\">My thought is &#8220;Why should I use mobile modem when I can use the normal internet modem?&#8221;.
