The document discusses different types of people in adopting new technologies using the metaphor of a pencil. It describes the "lead-ers" as the early adopters who enthusiastically share their experiences. The "sharp ones" learn from the early adopters and implement technologies effectively. The "wood" would use technologies if given support and training. The "dead wood" cannot be convinced to adopt new technologies no matter the efforts. The "eraser" undoes the work of the early adopters by criticizing new approaches. An optional "hanger-on" attends seminars but does not implement anything.

2. The Pencil Metaphor
The world comprises three kinds of people
A small group who make things happen…
A larger group who watch things happen,
And the great majority…
Who do not even know what is happening

4. The Pencil Metaphor
The lead-ers (Say led)
These are the first to take on the technology,
the early adopters who usually document and
enthusiastically share what they have tried - warts and all.

5. The Pencil Metaphor
The sharp ones
These are the people who see what the early adopters have
done, willingly grab the best of it, learn from the mistakes
of others and do great stuff with their students.

6. The Pencil Metaphor
The wood (Would)
These people would use the technology if someone would
just give them the gear, set it up, train them and keep it
running. All they need is some help from some sharp person
and they'll be doing it too.

7. The Pencil Metaphor
The dead wood
This part of the pencil can never be sharpened no matter
how hard you try. Even when the point is still sharp,
this little left over bit doesn't seem to be of much use
for the task at hand. In a pinch it can be used for the
most basic of tasks.

8. The Pencil Metaphor
The eraser
This is used to undo as much if not all the work
done by the lead-ers.

Optional extra - the hanger-on
Hangers-on know all the right lingo, attend all the
seminars, but just don't actually do anything.

10. The Pencil Metaphor
It true that the present is colored
by the past…
but it is also true
that we can choose the colors
of the future
