It seems to work along the "bell curve". In the beginning, you have a small percentage of "early adopters", maybe 15%. At the other end of the curve, there are the 2% to 3% that hang on as long as they can. For example, that last percentage could only be persuaded to use push-button phones... because they were unable to buy dial phones anymore!!! * I think the video was a "TED talk". -- numerist at aquaporin4 dot com
