Technological Diffusion

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Technological diffusion is the spread of technology across national borders, moving unevenly from where it originates toward nations with less infrastructure to receive it.

Show

A vaccine technology developed in one country reaching manufacturers in another illustrates diffusion carrying an innovation past its origin point.

Watch for

Diffusion describes technology's movement, not its equal arrival; infrastructure and investment still concentrate access geographically.
