An example of diffusion is:

• Increasing global news coverage, social media and streaming services. People becoming well known and movies, clips, social movements becoming viral.

• Items becoming mass consumption goods (e.g. fridges). Goods had to be altered to suit places in Europe as they were too big and wasn't able to fit.

• The lessnening of the distance between two points when the distance is measured in terms of time.
