Here is the information about Disruptive Technology:
Technology that is significantly cheaper than current, and/or is much higher performing, and/or has greater functionality, and/or is more convenient to use. Will revolutionize worldwide markets by superseding existing technologies. "Paradigm shifting" is a well-worn connotation. Although the term may sound negative, it is in fact neutral. It is only potentially negative to organizations that are unprepared for change, and fail to adapt, only to fall behind, and ultimately disappear. The results are not just evolutionary, they are revolutionary.

key word . . . disruptive; sounds like a word play - amazing how social conditioning is so easy to do these days.

As I noted recently, conmen come about because 1) people are irrationalist and intentionaly vague, and 2) some people get smart and notice these vaguaring, and 3) these conmen figure the world is crap anyways, these people are obviously crap, so they figure what the heck?!

I'm not saying that nanotech can't do bad things in the wrong hands, or that a sudden creation of mnt could have some bad side effects, but it just sounds to me that some people are latching on to this 'disruptive' word as the cool thing to do; it just sounds like witch-hunting to me as does Bill Joy and his followers.

We are working on disruptive technologies at Vulvox Nanobiotechnology Corporation. Examples; a breakthrough DNA-RNA silencer RNA production system,
higher activity silencer RNA, super strength super tough materials and untextured laser fusion pellets that might achieve laser fusion ignition. Something unprecedented by current methods.

The process of life itself requires the death of some cells in order to make the room for new cells. What is disruption for some is opportunity for others. Evolution is disruptive but necessary since without it there would be no adaption to the changing profiles in our environment.

In order to make omelettes you just got to crack a few eggs. Even dinosaurs had to "go" regardless of their size and dominance on the Earth. Success for many is "he who dies with the most ... wins". This is "disruptive technology" at its worst. We must learn, if we cease to change and do not accept new ways of doing things, we will perish. This does not mean that we need to let go of all our values and things we held as being good. What we need to do is to let go of all those things we know are not good and do not represent our collective values.

Some of the most indomitable species on the Earth are not physically big or smart at all. These are the insects. They "own" this world and they are the most diverse and numerous of all. We despise them and kill them... But our species is just a single one off accident that so far is showing no long term stability. In terms of the history of the Universe, it would seem that our reign (if you want to call it that) is very limited. Our entire species could end in a single day. After us the insects will live on to once again dominate this planet as they have for millennia.

So when we talk "disruption".. remember to think "adaption" or you and your descendants will have no place to go.

We do seem to have misguided view of what 'dominant' means. If Dino's were so 'dominant', how come they no longer here? Same this with Humans. I think we subconsciously know how fragile we are and how easily it can all end, so we puff our chest out and say how 'dominant' we are.

Sustainable = dominant.

D.N. eh?

I am a proponent of disruptive technology, I have inverted some myself. There are some things I will not pursue in my patent notebooks; germ warfare weapons and self assembling nanorobots. I also had an idea similar to Tesla's for tapping the ionosphere for energy. I have not worked on that since it might affect the weather in ways we cannot predict. If the electricity in the ionosphere were bled off effectively neutralizing it in parts per million what effect could it have on the weather? Lightning storms cause downpours that often cause flash floods. What other things could neutralizing the ionospheric charge cause?

Disruptive or revolutionary technology becomes that not when we adapt it into our lives and society but when its introduction causes us to adapt to it. Although we might not recognize it at first, the more invisible and "in the back ground" it is, often means its more integrated and critical in our every day lives. Hold on gang. We are coming to the age of living machines. my motto is the best way to predict the future, is to invent it.

I used to think I or somebody else might invent a fool proof nanoassembler that wont turn into the most viscous enemy faced by mankind. Since there are so many terrorists or crazies, it will be a matter of time before one of them invents something that can destroy all life on earth or all human life. What if the nut that killed all those people at VA tech was proficient in a future nanassembler technology that could be programmed to kill all water based life? There are really scary scenarios in science fiction like humans living on a carved out asteroid might kill every human being on earth to conquer its' territory. Who knows what will be possible in a generation or even tomrorrow. What science fiction do you watch?
