There have been early adopters--and laggards--probably for as long as there has been new technology. Surely, when the first wheel was rolled out in 3000 B.C., just a handful of Mesopotamians had enough insight and risk tolerance to give it a whirl while others looked on from a safe distance. Not much has changed. That brave soul willing to embrace The New still sits in the same spot on the bell curve that Everett Rogers drew up back in 1962 to denote what he called the "diffusion of innovation"--just after the innovator but well before the early majority, the late majority and the laggards. But within corporate IT, watching early adopters as they stumble isn't necessarily the safest course anymore.
