The Laws of Disruption

Here is an interesting video from Larry Downes, author of The Laws of Disruption: Harnessing the New Forces that Govern Life and Business in the Digital Age. The Law of Disruption states that, “social, political, and economic systems change incrementally, but technology changes exponentially" and this video takes a look at just how much technology has changed newspapers, video games, cell phones, and televisions over the last 20+ years.
