RE: The Top 5 Most Disruptive Technologies of The Next Decade
I think I am the Luddite who poo-poos some of this as hype even though the article and all of these technologies are interesting.
In my mind, "disruptive" means making significant perturbations in the business environment. Both IoT and AR/VR are, in my admittedly unexpert opinion, just "more and better" of a dynamic that exists already.
I do think wireless charging, self-driving cars, and 3D printing could really be game changers at some scale or another.
But business environment is not the only environment, right? There are many spheres of life and if a tech can disrupt even some of them, in my book, it can be called disruptive.
AR could be huge for businesses. They have huge applications in the industry. Companies are literally dying to make use of it.
VR, I think, will be more aimed towards the gaming industry.
