9. Disruptive technology
Harry and I are going to jump through a sample of some of the most exciting tech out there and get you thinking about what this means for business, and how businesses can start to think about responding to this new world.
_____
Alternative
By “disruptive technology”, im referring to technologies that either displace existing technologies (drones) or are a ground breaking product that creates completely new industries (eg VR)
Eg., in the same way that we saw the personal computer (PC) displaced the typewriter and forever changed the way we work and communicate
So lets talk through some…
________
Background
A disruptive technology is one that displaces an established technology and shakes up the industry or a ground-breaking product that creates a completely new industry.  
Harvard Business School professor Clayton M. Christensen coined the term disruptive technology. In his 1997 best-selling book, "The Innovator's Dilemma," Christensen separates new technology into two categories: sustaining and disruptive. Sustaining technology relies on incremental improvements to an already established technology. Disruptive technology lacks refinement, often has performance problems because it is new, appeals to a limited audience and may not yet have a proven practical application. (Such was the case with Alexander Graham Bell's "electrical speech machine," which we now call the telephone.)
Changing business
In his book, Christensen points out that large corporations are designed to work with sustaining technologies. They excel at knowing their market, staying close to their customers, and having a mechanism in place to develop existing technology. Conversely, they have trouble capitalizing on the potential efficiencies, cost-savings, or new marketing opportunities created by low-margin disruptive technologies. Using real-world examples to illustrate his point, Christensen demonstrates how it is not unusual for a big corporation to dismiss the value of a disruptive technology because it does not reinforce current company goals, only to be blindsided as the technology matures, gains a larger audience and market share and threatens the status quo.

12. Mind control to drive a car?
Students at a US University have found a way to drive a car just by using thought
Not going to focus on the obvious ones we hear about all the time…

13. TRUE Mind control to drive a car? Mind control to drive a car?
A team of college UC Berkeley's students modified a Tesla so a person can do just that. Use your brain and the car will accelerate or brake - no pesky pedal -pushing necessary.
The group put an electroencephalogram (EEG) headset, which measures the brain's electrical activity, on the driver. For the driver, thinking about tapping his right foot corresponded with "go," and thinking about clenching his left hand meant "stop." A linear actuator - a mechanical rod that applies force - would apply pressure to the gas and remove pressure from the brake, or vice versa, depending on the command.

14. Low orbit space elevators for fast travel?
Nevada spacetech startup Haven is employing hyperloop technology to begin construction of a low orbit space “elevator” outside Las Vegas, with the intention of commercialising it once the nascent space tourism projects of Virgin Space and Elon Musk's Space X programme become fully developed. The elevator will propel a reinforced shuttle built from carbon nanotubes, at hypersonic speeds, allowing it to break free of the Earth’s gravitational pull

16. A machine to record what you dream?
Using a neural net interface, scientists have successfully recorded REM state imagery from a test team of five subjects. The team was able to discern images of buildings and homes, and in some cases even family members.

17. A machine to record what you dream?
FALSE

18. Fly in a taxi to work?
The idea of an automated all-electric taxi that lands in your garden, takes off vertically and flies you safely and quickly to your destination, sounds wonderful. One company has committed to have self-piloted flying taxis for commuters ready for production by 2020 – just over 3 years away
Not going to focus on the obvious ones we hear about all the time…

19. TRUE Fly in a taxi to work?

20. Monitoring homeless people’s winter health?
The Danish government has begun distributing winter jackets equipped with wearable tech connectivity and tracking capability to homeless people. The coats allow the state to monitor the wearer's health in the winter when many of them are on the streets and at risk of hypothermia. If vital signs drop dramatically, the wearer can be tracked and medical aid administered.

21. Monitoring homeless people’s winter health?
BUT there is the tech available to do this.
Demonstrates that unless there is funding to do these great things, they wont happen.
FALSE
