So put up the $$$ and post the stuff here, like you do with NYT. Aren't
we all brilliant and don't we deserve to be rich?

-tg :)

I deem it interesting but what do I know from relating such to
philosophy?

Well, the guy is peddliing his ideas for speculators/investors.

He pro-claims there are 4 disruptive technologies a-coming blah, blah,
blah.

I think it may be fun to guess 'em.

So, here are my guesses, which are non-brain taxing, though too
general:

Medical: Biotech, duh, it's a matter of time.
Energy: Something so terrific you'll never see my awful fears/pessimism
again.
Puters/electronics: Micro-crape ad infintum
Building material-technology: Housing in the world is generally too
expensive for masses.

The Next Great Event Has Just Begun!



Four Disruptive Technologies That Will Change Your Life Forever



Generate Windfalls Profits Before It's Too Late



Investors will flock to these innovations faster than any investment in
history

Dear Investor:



Throughout history there have been innovations that disrupted the
status quo. You probably know the big ones like cars, televisions,
hypodermic needles and gunpowder.



In fact, some inventions caused catastrophic shifts in the way people
worked, lived, played and even invested.



I'm up pretty early this morning because I want to tell you about the
next great event that is already underway - and I'll show you HOW
to profit from it.



Once you've obtained all of the facts and information about these new
disruptive technologies -- you'll need to act quickly.

This in-depth report covers the disruptive technologies set to change
the lives of millions and profiles four companies at the vanguard of
their sectors. These technologies will generously reward early
investors for years to come. Click here to get your copy now.



When investors catch wind of these phenomenal technologies and
investment opportunities they will flood into the market like Times
Square at quitting time - just as they did when the new Blu-Ray
technology was revealed. The stocks of the companies that hold the
Blu-Ray patents surged! The Blu-Ray technology market is expected to
exceed $28 billion.



The four "disruptive technologies" that we discovered in our
research will change your life and the lives of millions of others
almost overnight.



What are Disruptive Technologies?



Disruptive technologies are usually innovations, products or services
that overturn existing dominant technology.



For example, steam engines and internal-combustion engines were a
disruptive technology because they overturned horse and human powered
machines.



Another, not so well known disruptive technology was hydraulic
excavators.



Prior to hydraulic excavators' earth moving machines were
cable-operated. Cable operated excavators are the earliest documented
self- powered machine to move earth. These machines were physically
demanding, and often broke down.



In the 1950's hydraulic excavators became less expensive to build,
operate and maintain. But more importantly, one hydraulic excavator
could do the work of five cable operated excavators.



The innovation that caused the disruption in the earth moving industry
was hydraulics.



The people that invested in the top hydraulic excavators manufactures
in 1960's would have made a handsome profit. However, profits were
not only generated from investing in manufactures of heavy equipment.
Hydraulics accelerated dozens of industries including real estate
development, highway construction, oil exploration and mining.



We discovered four new disruptive technologies that will change the
course of history in the years to come.

The Theory of Disruptive Technology



Clayton Christensen coined the term "disruptive technology" in his
1997 book entitled The Innovator's Dilemma.

Clayton distinguishes between "low-end disruptions" which targets
customers who do not need the full performance valued by customers at
the high end of the market.



The "new-market disruption" targets customers who could previously not
be served profitably by low-end disruption.

"Low-end disruption" occurs when the rate at which products improve
exceeds the rate at which customers can adopt the new performance.



For example, the performance of a 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.

The telephone provides a nice illustration of "low-end disruption".




When the telephone first arrived on the scene in 1876 it "overshot"
the needs of most customers. Plus, it was more expensive to manufacture
and own than a telegraph. Finding investors to exploit the technology
was next to impossible - let alone customers!



But in 1878 the President of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes,
installed the first telephone in the White House. From that point the
telephone gained a "foothold" in the market and eventually made the
telegraph obsolete.



How Low-end Disruption Occurs Over Time



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. But 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 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.
