A school of thought aiming to accelerate the technologization of the human environment actively and aggressively replaces any aspect, sometimes in a very personal way and other times by influencing other people's lives. According to the theory, this is because human civilization is lagging and not as mature as it should be by now.
There are multiple possible motivations for such a movement:
1. Make the future look like the future: Cool, clean and efficiant.
2. Destroying old institutions or companies by introducing changes to spending habit.
3. Enhancing life conditions and the environment using technology.
For all practical purposes, it plans to replace aspects of life that are obsolete, mostly material.

Person 1: Hey, I finally installed Linux on my PC.

Once pressure is applied to the mechanism, you cannot release it without setting off the explosive... Do... Not... Touch it. Seriously. It WILL kill me. It isn't going to let you use me as leverage. Do not disrupt it's function. Turn it off as quickly as possible."

Get the Attractive Disruption mug.Engineering that doesn't just make a better product; it makes the old product (and often the entire industry behind it) completely obsolete by introducing a simpler, cheaper, and more accessible alternative. It’s not about incremental upgrades (a sharper razor blade); it’s about changing the fundamental game (inventing the electric shaver). Disruptive engineers ask, "What if we bypass the entire complicated, expensive system?" They prioritize accessibility and new-market creation over serving existing high-end customers.
Example: Disruptive Engineering is what Netflix did to Blockbuster. Instead of engineering better DVD coatings or more efficient physical store layouts, they engineered a mail-order and later streaming system that made the physical rental store—and its late fees, inventory problems, and real estate costs—utterly irrelevant.
