Truly disruptive technology is hard to find, but once adopted, it can lead to outsized returns (we will get to this part later). What is disruptive technology? It’s new technology that can create a new (or rattle an) existing industry. For example, the transistor revolutionized electronics, shrinking radios over time so that we could carry them in our pockets. Personal computers made typewriters obsolete. Adios letter writing – here comes email. More recently, the cloud allows access to information and services from any place that has Internet connectivity, saving enterprises money on in-house storage. These are the types of disruptive technologies that have transformed the way we live, usually for the better.
