Diffusion at SMU Diffusion is so wildly present in our everyday life that it can even be observed in our very own little bubble that is SMU.

Sitting in my Chemistry class, where I am writing this right now actually, I am watching about four people continuously texting (maybe to each other?) on their Blackberries/iPhones/Treos/Smartphones.

Phones like these have become somewhat of a phenomena here at SMU. Used to, one would see them occasionally, but the owner was either a self-professed techno-nerd or super wealthy. These early adopters shaped the way for the rest of us who would pick up their phone and go, "Wow! This is really great!"

Now, SMU's PDA Population has grown so vast that those without a phone that can check their e-mail, text their friends, store their grocery list, surf their Facebook, and oh, actually make the occasional call, can be described as none other than laggards.  ¶ posted by L.O. Ratliff at 10:37 AM •
