+Ken Schreiner Yes! only a few months before! - Did he give any other talks after this one that you know of? - Amazing to see this presentation directly from Ev himself - thank you so much for sharing this!
I don't know if he spoke anywhere else after this. He was obviously ill but he was friendly and cooperative and absolutely one of the nicest and smartest men I ever met.
Thank you, Ken, for posting this rare presentation by Dr. E.M. Rogers. You did a great job by capturing this video footage at UIUC, where I am now a doctoral student. The real value of his work is now felt by looking back at his immense and tireless contribution to the knowledge in the Diffusion of Innovations theory, and especially when we realize the fact that Prof. Rogers is no more with us.
What a jewel of a video! At TU Delft I give a one-day workshop on diffusion of innovation twice a year. Together with my students we go through his model and apply it to product design. Always great fun, always informative. Thanks for sharing.
The work by Dr. Rogers has been very valuable in my areas of interest - behavioral public health and dissemination & implementation science; grateful for a brief glimpse of the man and his anecdotes of his early professional years. Thank you for posting!
His concept and book diffusion of innovation changed my thought process. I am understanding social tech innovation diffusion and his work has always guided my process. Thanks for uploading
It has also the message that the collaboration with *right* collaborations *sparks* innovation. I am applying it enterprise architect space. With deep respects to Rogers as well as to Ken, Raju from Hyderabad
Thank you Ken for the posting; a real treasure! I know that Dr. Rogers' final statement is there will be no 6th edition of "Diffusion of Innovations"...but do we know if the publisher will continue to publish and if not, will anyone be able to do an update? I use this textbook in my class on change management.
Can this apply to peer to peer propagation of an idea? People on the lookout for new ideas in their area of interest will be the first to hear about it and spread it to their friends which has a cascade effect, but that has to interface with the D.o.I. theory as well. You wont tell your friends about something you dont care about.
I believe you are right, Cory. I’ve just heard of Prof. Rogers through one of Geoffrey A. Moore’s RUclips presentations (author of Crossing the Chasm), and then found this late presentation of Professor Rogers (btw, tk you for posting, Ken!). I think that what researchers teach today (Seth Godin and Simon Sinek, for example) comes from what Prof. Rogers originally proposed and addressed in his life. Clayton M. Christensen (author of The Innovator’s Dilemma) is another Professor whose legacy is related, I believe, to Prof. Rogers’ work.
The laggards remains laggards because being last to adopt a new technology means their time between adoption and obsolescence of the technology is the shortest. Hence, they feel the sting most acutely when the next innovation arises and undermines the innovation they've recently adopted. This group learns quickly to be hesitant to adopt innovation.

For those who'd like to skip the preamble and get right to the lecture on the diffusion of innovations, it starts at 6:57.
THANK YOU!!
I realized this skip only at later point🙂 however I also used 'j' key often
I feel very lucky to have captured this before he died.

+Ancient Inspirations I don't know. He died Oct. 21, 2004, about six months after this presentation.
Hi .... very special to have captured this talk. I am studying this theory for my dissertation. Lovely to see Everett talk

Thanks to you Ken and diffusion of social media! I am doing my PhD on Technology Adoption, its very interesting to see Mr. Rogers here. RIP.
Would love to know which University are you pursuing your PhD on Tech Adoption.
What a jewel of a video!

Great presentation and im so luck and have a privillage to see this. Thanks ken
Thank you for the valuable posting!
+Myung Ja Kim Glad you enjoyed it!

Very great lecture and fantastic interesting book of diffusion of innovations by Dr.ROGERS
Thanks God for the Light this Great Man Brought to my Life. 🙏
Nice bit of filming. Lovely constrast between the old and the new (on a number of levels).
His concept and book diffusion of innovation changed my thought process. I am understanding social tech innovation diffusion and his work has always guided my process. Thanks for uploading
amazing innovation model, I'm so admire Roger's persistence, thanks Ken post this speech, it will inspiring and driving me to explore my research.
It has also the message that the collaboration with *right* collaborations *sparks* innovation. I am applying it enterprise architect space. With deep respects to Rogers as well as to Ken, Raju from Hyderabad
Outstanding presentation, it is inspiring.

Really liked it. :)
谢谢
Very handsome man.
I admire him very much. H let me find that innovation diffusion is a science, not an opnion.
The laggards remains laggards because being last to adopt a new technology means their time between adoption and obsolescence of the technology is the shortest. Hence, they feel the sting most acutely when the next innovation arises and undermines the innovation they've recently adopted. This group learns quickly to be hesitant to adopt innovation.
