Disruption is a critical element of the evolution of technology - from the positive and negative aspects of disruption a typical pattern emerges, as new technologies come to market and subsequently take hold.

I hear entrepreneurs use the word 'disruption' on a daily basis and continuously hear the cliche change the world.

Innovation and disruption are the hallmarks of the technology world, and hardly a moment passes when we are not thinking, doing, or talking about these topics.

From a product development perspective, choosing whether a technology is disruptive at a potential moment is key.
