Diffusion processes proceed at the system's clock speed.

Some of the processes are technical and go faster with better technology.

Some of the processes are social, and don't go faster because the clock speed is the human mind which doesn't change.^[un][uo][up]

A common thought: "Technology moves so quickly now, so this new disruptive thing will be adopted quickly."

But the main constraint might be the social process of diffusion.

Diffusion in a system of bits is faster than diffusion in a system of atoms.
