Oh, "we" are so good, we are sooo leading. We even ignore things we don't want!
Or do "we" also ignore ads for things we do want and the rest of the populous does not, and are the rest of the people therefor smarter and better of? Are ads always fraudulent rip-offs? Really?
Being an early adopter doesn't imply being smarter or better. The fact is, early adopters may frequently be considered as advanced types of guinea pigs, where they are willing to put up with shit other customers might not.[1]
I don't know the comment about the Bay Area being "sooo leading" is necessarily accurate. We "lead movement" in a group of users based on the fact we adopt (and work in) technology more than other groups. This isn't elitism (which your comments lean toward implying) but more realism of the situation. Silicon Valley is where most of the high technology in the world originated. It only makes sense the natives that live near that region are more likely to be designated as early adopters. Of course, you can take my comment any way you like.
