2DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Introduction
Disruptive technology are referred to those technologies that creates a whole new
industry by establishing a ground breaking product which shakes the market scenario.
Sustaining technologies normally improves the established technology in increments while a
disruptive technology has no refinement and occasionally has performance problems.
In the following report, a disruptive technology has been discussed. The chosen
disruptive technology for the chosen assignment is Mobile phone. A brief history of the
technology in relation to the cell phone industry has been evaluated in the report. The pros
and cons of the disruptive technology has been discussed. The security, legal and ethical
implications of the mobile phone technology has been discussed in the report.
