RANT WARNING
I'm one of most emotionally un-reactive and laid back people around, but these one tiny thing thats reached a point where i feel the need to bring this up. I suppose i need reassurance that i'm not the only one to have noticed it.
Feel free to laugh:smilielol:
Everybody seems to think that their new startup, idea, technology, project or website is going to "disrupt" something nowadays.
The number of times i come across this word (disrupt/disruptive) when im reading something to do with business/entrepreneurship is pissing me off. Its so overused that it has started to annoy me. I see it multiple times a day, i swear. Is anyone else experiencing this ?
I want to create a thread to demonstrate how pervasive it is. Im not going to go out my way trying to prove my point, but im going to share a link here whenever i come across an article/interview/about page with the word. No doubt ill have plenty of them to share.
I just saw the thread on here about the apple touch watch on kickstarter, which was cool. But here it was again.
