The document describes Geoffrey Moore's technology adoption life cycle model, known as "Crossing the Chasm". It shows five categories of technology users: innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards. It notes a gap, called "the chasm", between early adopters and the early majority that new technologies must cross to reach mainstream markets. Successfully crossing this chasm involves understanding differences in how these user groups view and adopt new technologies.
