Answer 1

laggard

Step-by-step explanation:

The theory of diffusion of innovation tries to show how, why, when and at what rate people adopt innovative technology into their lives. There are four main categories for people that reveal their process of adoption and some influence the adoption of others. These are known as Innovators, Early adopters, Early majority and Laggards. For the purpose of this question, people who do not ´catch on´ as the rest of society, are referred to as Laggards where they adopt technological trends only because they have to or are forced to.
