Sure enough, we crave natural joint pain relief and strive to find that perfect solution that will allow us to carry on with our lives pain free. Below are some strategies to bring you that desired pain relief.
History and usage of the term
The term disruptive technology was coined by Clayton M. Christensen and introduced in his 1995 article Disruptive Technologies: Catching the Wave, which he co-wrote with Joseph Bower. The article is aimed at managing executives who make the funding/purchasing decisions in companies rather than the research community. He describes the term further in his 1997 book The Innovator’s Dilemma. In his sequel, The Innovator’s Solution, Christensen replaced disruptive technology with the term disruptive innovation because he recognized that few technologies are intrinsically disruptive or sustaining in character. It is the strategy or business model that the technology enables that creates the disruptive impact. The concept of disruptive technology continues a long tradition of the identification of radical technical change in the study of innovation by economists, and the development of tools for its management at a firm or policy level.
The theory
How low-end disruption occurs over time.
Christensen distinguishes between “low-end disruption” which targets customers who do not need the full performance valued by customers at the high end of the market and “new-market disruption” which targets customers who have needs that were previously unserved by existing incumbents.
“Low-end disruption” occurs when the rate at which products improve exceeds the rate at which customers can adopt the new performance. Therefore, at some point the performance of the product overshoots the needs of certain customer segments. At this point, a disruptive technology may enter the market and provide a product which has lower performance than the incumbent but which exceeds the requirements of certain segments, thereby gaining a foothold in the market.
In low-end disruption, the disruptor is focused initially on serving the least profitable customer, who is happy with a good enough product. This type of customer is not willing to pay premium for enhancements in product functionality. Once the disruptor has gained foot hold in this customer segment, it seeks to improve its profit margin. To get higher profit margins, the disruptor needs to enter the segment where the customer is willing to pay a little more for higher quality. To ensure this quality in its product, the disruptor needs to innovate. The incumbent will not do much to retain its share in a not so profitable segment, and will move up-market and focus on its more attractive customers. After a number of such encounters, the incumbent is squeezed into smaller markets than it was previously serving. And then finally the disruptive technology meets the demands of the most profitable segment and drives the established company out of the market.
“New market disruption” occurs when a product fits a new or emerging market segment that is not being served by existing incumbents in the industry. The Linux operating system (OS) when introduced was inferior in performance to other server operating systems like Unix and Windows NT. But the Linux OS is inexpensive compared to other server operating systems. After years of improvements Linux is now installed in 87.8% of the worlds 500 fastest supercomputers.
Examples of disruptive innovations
Disruptive Innovation
Displaced or Marginalized technology
Notes
Hydraulic excavators
Cable-operated excavators
Hydraulic excavators were clearly innovative at the time of introduction but they gain widespread use only decades after. However, cable-operated excavators are still used in some cases, mainly for large excavations.
Refrigerators
Ice houses
Eliminating the need for the ice box and the milkman.
Mini steel mills
vertically integrated steel mills
By using mostly locally available scrap and power sources these mills can be cost effective even though not large.
Desktop publishing
Traditional publishing
Early desktop-publishing systems could not match high-end professional systems in either features or quality. Nevertheless, they lowered the cost of entry to the publishing business, and economies of scale eventually enabled them to match, and then surpass, the functionality of the older dedicated publishing systems.
Digital photography
originally, instant photography, now increasingly all chemical photography
Early digital cameras suffered from low picture quality and resolution and long shutter lag. Quality and resolution are no longer major issues and shutter lag is much less than it used to be. The convenience of small memory cards and portable hard drives that hold hundreds or thousands of pictures, as well as the lack of the need to develop these pictures, also helped. Digital cameras have a high power consumption (but several lightweight battery packs can provide enough power for thousands of pictures). Cameras for classic photography are stand-alone devices. In the same manner, high-resolution digital video recording has replaced film stock, except for high-budget motion pictures.
Minicomputers
Mainframes
Though mainframes survive in a niche market which persists to this day, minicomputers have themselves been disrupted into extinction.
Personal computers
Minicomputers, Workstations. Word processors
Workstations still exist, but are increasingly assembled from high-end personal computer parts, to the point that the distinction is fading
High speed CMOS video sensors
Photographic film
When first introduced, high speed CMOS sensors were less sensitive, had lower resolution, and cameras based on them had less duration (record time). The advantage of rapid setup time, editing in the camera, and nearly-instantaneous review quickly eliminated 16 mm high speed film systems. CMOS-based cameras also require less power (single phase 110 V AC and a few amps for CMOS, vs. 240 V single- or three-phase at 20-50 A for film cameras). Continuing advances have overtaken 35 mm film and are challenging 70 mm film applications.
Firearms
Crossbows, longbows and skirmish weapons
Though early muskets had less fire rate, range, accuracy and reliability than crossbows and longbows, firearms allowed essentially anyone to become an effective soldier with very little training. Earlier military units like bowmen and knights needed years of practice to master the skills. Regular infantry in Europe adopted firearms around the 16th century, but native American mounted archers, especially the Comanches, kept their bows well into the 19th century, when repeating rifles became available. Crossbows are still used today by some special forces.
Steamships
Sailing ships
The first steamships were deployed on inland waters where sailing ships were less effective, instead of on the higher profit margin seagoing routes. Hence steamships originally only competed in traditional shipping lines’ “worst” markets.
Telephones
Telegraphy
When Western Union infamously declined to purchase Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone patents for $100,000, their highest-profit market was long-distance telegraphy. Telephones were only useful for very local calls. Short-distance telegraphy barely existed as a market segment, if at all. So Western Union’s decision was quite understandable at the time.
Paper
Parchment
Paper is significantly cheaper than parchment, and got its great breakthrough with the printing press. Parchment is stronger & more durable and is still used today for diplomas and other high-value documents.
Automobiles
Rail transport
By the beginning of the 20th century, rail (including streetcars) was the fastest and most cost-efficient means of land transportation for goods and passengers in industrialized countries. The first cars, buses and trucks were used for local transportation in suburban areas, where they often replaced streetcars and industrial tracks. As highways expanded, medium- and later long-distance transports were relocated to road traffic, and some railways closed down. As rail traffic has a lower ton-kilometer cost, but a higher investment and operating cost than road traffic, rail is still preferred for large-scale bulk cargo (such as minerals). Since rail has always been faster than contemporary road vehicles[citation needed], it is viable for passengers in populated regions like Western Europe, south and east Asia and the Northeast Corridor. When urban density increases, rail systems often become more attractive, and make a comeback.
High-speed trains
Airliners
Aircraft were once a revolutionary technology that replaced trans-continental rail traffic, and became a serious competitor even on medium range (500 km and more). Today, as airlines are burdened by increasing fuel costs, tightened airport security and environmental concerns, and train speed increases with new infrastructure, trains in western Europe, eastern Asia and northeastern United States have disrupted short-range flights. Future trains could be competitive on trans-continental distance too. Still, as new rail lines necessarily require the construction of new tracks, the extent to which rail travel will surpass air travel remains to be seen, particularly in areas not currently served by rail transit.
Private jet
Supersonic transport
The Concorde has so far been the only supersonic airliner in extensive commercial traffic. However, it catered to a small customer segment, which could later afford small private sub-sonic jets. The loss of speed was compensated by flexibility. Supersonic flight is also banned above inhabited land, due to sonic booms. The Concorde was withdrawn in 2003.
Computer printers
Offset printing
Offset printing has a high overhead cost, but very low unit cost compared to computer printers, and superior quality. But as printers, especially laser printers, have improved in speed and quality, they have become increasingly useful for creating documents in limited issues.
Plastic
Metal, wood, glass etc
Bakelite and other early plastics had very limited use – their main advantages were electric insulation and low cost. New forms had advantages such as transparency, elasticity and combustibility. In the early 21st century, plastics can be used for nearly all household items previously made of metal, wood and glass.
Missile weapons
Artillery
Early missile weapons, like Congreve rockets, were unreliable, and more or less experimental. They however had some intrinsic advantages – no recoil, and smaller launcher units. Guidance systems made missiles more efficient, and made most artillery pieces obsolete on land, at sea and in the air. Artillery still has the advantage of cheaper ammunition, but modern warships rely entirely on missiles for long-range combat.
Television / Home cinema and video recorders
Movie theaters
Television systems’ audio-visual performance has been greatly improved since introduction in the 1930s. It has always been inferior to movie theaters, but the gap is closing – as color TV, HDTV and home cinema systems have become ubiquitous, while cinema technologies such as Cinemascope, 3D cinema, IMAX and THX have had limited commercial success. News programmes disrupted cinema newsreels almost at arrival, thanks to television’s instant delivery time. Soap operas, animated shorts and other low-budget TV drama disrupted B movies and serial films, and drove the cinema into feature films with high budget, where audio-visual performance is critical. Pornography is another genre which has gradually moved from the silver screen to home television, as video recorders appeared (mostly since home systems offer more privacy than theaters). Cable and digital encoding has increased the range of television programs. Multiplexes increased cinema’s range, at the cost of nearness. Currently, the budgets of Hollywood TV series are closing up on the budgets of feature films, and the box office mainly survives from the artificial time gap between cinema openings and DVD releases, and is sometimes a loss leader for snack sales.
Light-emitting diodes
Light bulbs
A LED is significantly smaller and less power-consuming than a light bulb. The first optical LEDs were weak, and only useful as indicator lights. Later models could be used for indoor lighting, and future ones will probably be strong enough to serve as street lights. Classical light bulbs for lower light indoor use remain, possible mainly because of sentimental and aesthetic value.
Digital synthesizer
Electronic organ and piano
Synthesizers were initially low-cost, low-weight alternatives to electronic organs and acoustic pianos. Today’s synthesizers feature many automated functions, and have replaced them for home and hobby users.
Downloadable Digital Media
CDs, DVDs
In the 1990s, the music industry phased out the single. This left consumers with no means to purchase individual songs. This market was filled by filesharing technologies, which were initially free, and then by online retailers such as the iTunes music store and Amazon.com. This low end disruption eventually undermined the sales of physical, high-cost CDs.
Mobile VoIP
GSM and Roaming
VoIP technology over a wifi network, can cost next to nothing for the user and the network used in data traffic on a unit basis; compared to the standard GSM network, especially for roaming calls.
Where GSM providers would charge what is widely considered ludicrous pricing for services such as calling international countries, installing a small application on compatible mobile phones, can cost the user nothing. However, this service cannot replace GSM fully, since it relies in the ever expanding wifi enabled areas.
Solid state drive
Hard disk drive
The solid state drive has many benefits towards the hard disk drive. SSDs have begun to appear in laptops, although as of 2009 they are substantially more expensive per unit of capacity than hard drives ($580 for a 256 GB SSD, vs. $50 for a similar size external USB HDD). The price of SSD are dropping. The SSD has replaced the Hard disk drive as the boot disk in the high end market.
Word processor
Typewriter
Flexible word processors with high-quality printers have superseded typewriters in all but the simplest applications, or where electrical power is not available, and manual equipment is the only practical alternative to pens and pencils.
LCD
CRT
Liquid crystal displays (LCD) (and other planar technologies) have largely replaced the dominant cathode ray tube (CRT) technology for computer displays and television sets, although CRT technologies have improved with advances like true-flat panels and digital controls only recently.
Mobile Telephony
Mobile Discount Operators
Mobile Discount / No Frills Operators (MDOs aka. MVNOs) first focused on a low-distribution-cost-through-internet sales model. In later times, innovations like low-priced mobile-internet tariffs were brought to market. This tripped the development of a new discount category in the market which was later entered by the large discount retail chains with own branded offerings leveraging their distribution power in the lower tier of the market.
Electric stove
Gas stove
Gas stoves for household use appeared in the 1880s. Electric stoves, independent of a gas source, came decades later. Though electric stoves became standard in most homes and replaced the more expensive and bulky gas stoves, many professionals still prefer a steady, powerful gas flame.
Calculator
Slide rule
With the advent of semiconductors and the introduction of calculators, the use of slide rules has gradually diminished.
Fiber Optics
Copper Wire
A single optical cable can carry the same amount of data as thousands of copper wires. This massively reduced the cost of data transmission which spurred widespread availability of high-speed Internet and lowered the cost of long-distance voice communication.
Examples of revolutionary innovations
Revolutionary innovation
Displaced or Marginalized technology
Notes
Agriculture and Pastoralism
Hunting and gathering
Revolutionary innovation. Not a disruptive innovation as pastoralism is a much more productive technology than hunting. The development of food production technology led to other disruptive technologies such as cities, writing, metal working, wheeled vehicles, and much of the remainder of world civilization.
Container ships and containerization
“Break cargo” ships and stevedores
In addition to efficiency these also provide a great reduction in opportunities for pilferage and integrate well with both rail and truck transport.
Semiconductors
vacuum tubes (US) / valves (UK)
A revolutionary innovation often falsely quoted as a disruptive technology. Systems built up with semiconductors require far less energy, are magnitudes of size smaller and more reliable than such with tubes. Semiconductor transistors revolutionized logic circuits upon its introduction by Shockley and Bardeen in the 1950s.
Motor vehicles
Horses as transport
See Buggy whip; feed suppliers, harness makers, horse breeders, etc also affected
Airliners
Road, rail and sea transport
Airliners offer unmatched speed, and quickly came to dominate inter-continental and trans-continental travel. They are however facing competition from high-speed rail (see above), especially along the heaviest-travelled routes.
Contact Lenses
Eye glasses
Refractive eye surgery
Contact Lenses
Eliminates the regimented maintenance procedure.
Accommodating lens implants
Refractive eye surgery
Overnight Delivery Service
On-hand Inventories
This revolution depends as well on cheap oil and a big amount of government investment in road infrastructure. As well the environmental cost of Air pollution of often small amounts of products are socialized (absorbed into the society at large) and not paid privately by the parties interested in the transport.
Internet store
Brick and mortar business
Higher possible level of privacy in purchase and sales as compared to physical storefronts.
Not all technologies promoted as disruptive innovations have actually prospered as well as their proponents had hoped. However, some of these technologies have only been around for a few years, and their ultimate fate has not yet been determined.
Unresolved examples of technologies promoted as ‘disruptive innovations’
ebooks vs. paper books as well as other content distribution by download (video games, films etc) instead of physical storage media (DVDs).
VoIP (and VoIP over 802.11) vs. traditional telephone and mobile phone service.
Webcam videoconferencing as a lower-quality but quicker, cheaper and easier alternative to high-end videoconferences with dedicated monitors and office space.
Reconfigurable Computing as part of a dual paradigm approach to High Performance Computing vs. traditional computing exclusively based on the von Neumann machine paradigm.
Web TV versus broadcast television.
Free/open source software vs proprietary software.
Artificial Photosynthesis vs Biomass production to counter global warming induced by fossil fuel combustion.
Business implications
Disruptive technologies are not always disruptive to customers, and often take a long time before they are significantly disruptive to established companies. They are often difficult to recognize. Indeed, as Christensen points out and studies have shown, it is often entirely rational for incumbent companies to ignore disruptive innovations, since they compare so badly with existing technologies or products, and the deceptively small market available for a disruptive innovation is often very small compared to the market for the established technology.
Even if a disruptive innovation is recognized, existing businesses are often reluctant to take advantage of it, since it would involve competing with their existing (and more profitable) technological approach. Christensen recommends that existing firms watch for these innovations, invest in small firms that might adopt these innovations, and continue to push technological demands in their core market so that performance stays above what disruptive technologies can achieve.
Disruptive technologies, too, can be subtly disruptive, rather than prominently so. Examples include digital photography (the sharp decline in consumer demand for common 35 mm print film has had a deleterious effect on free-riders such as slide and infrared film stocks, which are now more expensive to produce) and IP/Internet telephony, where the replacement technology does not, and sometimes cannot practically replace all of the non-obvious attributes of the older system (sustained operation through municipal power outages, national security priority access, the higher degree of obviousness that the service may be life-safety critical or deserving of higher restoration priority in catastrophes, etc).
Analogues with Hindu mythology
Interestingly enough, Shiva is the Hindu god of destruction. Shiva destroys in order to make room for more creation. The morality of Shiva has been visually depicted in the yin-yang. Essentially, Shiva is the mythical god of innovation and, perhaps competition as well. In his famous treatise, On the Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Thomas Kuhn alludes to this “period of crisis” as the moment necessary for the precipitation of novel creation, of, here, a new paradigm. Perhaps Shiva is the mythical god of the paradigm shift.

The Importance of Disruptive Technologies. Disruptive technologies emerge from the chaos that surrounds us and the best thing we could do is to create an environment which stimulates these technologies to come to the fore. We, including our leaders in business and society at large, have to be tolerant of chaos and build strategic capability to solve problems of the future rather than concentrating on today.
The Myth of Disruptive Technologies. Note that Dvork’s definition of disruptive technology describes the low cost disruption model, above. He reveals the overuse of the term and shows how many disruptive technologies are not truly disruptive.

"Microwave Digital TV "Refers to the use of Microwave communication Of digital television. Using the fixed antenna to receive microwave signals in normal TV digital TV was in December 2003 in Tokyo, Nagoya, a large plate and begin broadcasting the three parts of the city. In addition, preparations in the spring of 2006 opened the microwave digital television portable terminal. Here an overview of some in the microwave for TV and digital TV services for portable terminals differ.
Microwave digital TV using 470M ~ 770MHz or "UHF band" to send radio waves. Each TV station Will be one of about 5.6MHz bandwidth is divided into 13 named "band (Segment)" unit to use. The bandwidth of each band is about 429kHz. In 13 frequency bands, in the middle of the band will be used for the portable terminal of microwave digital TV services. The remaining 12 bands are used for regular TV.
Using 12 bands general TV channels, the maximum energy of about 21Mbit / s speed digital data transmission. The channel can be used to send " MPEG -2 "Format of the video content. As the largest 1920 × 1080 pixel high-definition television programs use about 18Mbit / s bandwidth, so you can just send a set of programs. In addition, video content, can also send voice and data Broadcasting And other information.
Single-band portable terminal channel Zeyi 200K ~ 300Kbit / s speed transmission of data. However, although only one band, and microwave for TV digital television is still very slow compared to the speed. The reason why this result is due to poor signal reception taking into account that the portable terminal, and the speed is much more important than the result of noise elimination.
For regular TV, because the roof can be installed in large-size antenna, so reception quality is very good. Therefore, the use of a waveform (symbol, Symbol) distribution of six of information "64QAM" modulation.
And portable terminals for digital television is used, called "QPSK" modulation mode. QPSK only way to assign two of each waveform information. Although a small number of bits transmitted, but because a clear distinction between the waveform is to transmit data, so easily affected by noise.
As video format, portable devices and television is also very different in general. Envisaged for the portable terminal is the QVGA format, video size (320 × 240 pixel). If exactly the same and for regular TV format MPEG-2 compression, it needs nearly 1Mbit / s transmission capacity. Therefore, portable terminals for digital TV on the use of the name " H.264 "The high compression technology. The technology can be used less than 200Kbit / s transmission speed of 15 frames / second QVGA format video.
In addition, the method of radio reception in general TV and portable terminals are also different. Widespread use of large-size TV antenna, installed in the roof height of about 10m. So can high-speed antenna and so on, to watch a clear picture.
However, the use of portable terminals to receive signals, the antenna size is very small, basically to Favorites To the fuselage, the antenna height is only 1 ~ 2m, and the person's height almost. Thus receiver sensitivity will be greatly reduced.
Order to maximize the sensitivity of microwave digital TV reception in portable terminals of a variety of methods. A very effective method is a portable terminal is equipped with two kinds of different antennas at the same time to receive the "diversity reception (DiversityReception)". By the two kinds of antennas to receive both, and then use that signal quality good.
Mobile Already with a telescopic "rod antenna (WhipAntenna)". The most promising is based on the rod antenna used in conjunction with widespread use of mobile radio Headset Line "phone antenna." Specific in what antenna will be subject of future development.

History
Two Guys store, Middletown, NJ. 1977.
In 1959, the company acquired O.A. Sutton Corp., manufacturers of electric fans, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers. The merged company was renamed Vornado, Inc., after O.A. Sutton’s Vornado line of appliances. At its peak, there were more than 100 Two Guys locations nationwide, including Upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, Maryland, and Virginia.
As Vornado’s commercial fortunes declined throughout the mid-to-late 1970s, they began selling off Two Guys stores to various companies. In late 1980, Vornado (later renamed to Vornado Realty Trust) was acquired by Interstate Properties, Inc. after Interstate won a proxy fight. Interstate began the process of liquidating its Two Guys outlets by closing the stores and leasing the physical location to other retailers, which had posted a loss of $20 million for the first half of 1981.
Many locations originally included a discount store with a supermarket, as well as complete hardware, major appliance, and automotive service departments. The Two Guys supermarkets were full sized “stores within a store.” They competed directly with large supermarket chains in the region at the time like Acme, Food Fair, Penn Fruit, Grand Union, A&P, and ShopRite. Trading stamps like Plaid and S&H Green Stamps were popular supermarket promotions into the early 1980s, and Two Guys supermarkets had its own private label trading stamps. Completed books of Two Guys trading stamps could then be turned in for merchandise credit slips that could be used in any non-food Two Guys department. The supermarkets used the tag line, “Two Guys, The Super Supermarket”, while the main store used the tag line, “We Save Money For You, Naturally”. The store in East Hanover, New Jersey even had an attached liquor store with bar. It was succeeded by developer Vornado Realty Trust, which developed and in many cases still owns the land on which Two Guys stores once stood. In Middletown, New Jersey, a Two Guys on New Jersey Route 35 operated for many years within sight of the “Evil Clown of Middletown”; it later became a Bradlees. There were also stores on Route 9 in Manalapan Township, on Route 37 in Toms River, New Jersey and Route 18 in East Brunswick Township.
One of the chains more unusual operations was its outlet in downtown Newark, New Jersey. This location was originally the flagship of the Kresge-Newark department store, and for a brief time Chase-Newark. Two Guys operated on 4 floors of this building (later 3), and operated this store more like a traditional department store. Two Guys continued to maintain display windows, revolving doors and other touches of a traditional downtown department store. This location also included an in-store dining room, The Rainbow Cafeteria. This store opened in 1967, and remained until the chain’s liquidation.
Bernard Marcus, one of the founders of Home Depot, began his retail career when he convinced the Hubschmans to let him operate the cosmetics concession at a Two Guys store in Totowa, New Jersey. He eventually was put in charge of first sporting goods and the major appliance department for the entire company, controlling over $1 billion in sales. He left the company after it was sold to outside investors following Herbert Hubschman’s death.

An extremely large amount of directories die before their first year of operation – many in the first few weeks.
