Never is a long time
(Disruptive Technology and the Web)

In 1997 Clayton Christensen published a book "The Innovator's Dilemma" which
made us look at the world in a completely new way and introduced the
term "Disruptive Technology". All around us we can see disruptive
technologies at work, displacing existing technologies; the Web itself is
clearly a disruptive technology for several existing things.

But how about <em>within</em> the Web? Are there emerging technologies that
demonstrate some of the properties of disruption, where we could
expect at some time they will replace existing technologies?

This talk will discuss how to identify potentially disruptive
technologies, and which web technologies may qualify.
