Disruption is a word in technology that has been so abused that the true meaning may be lost on many. Fortunately, we have this incredible book to explain how disruption starts and eventually crushes incumbents in any market. It's incredible to follow the author's accounts of many disruptions over the past 100 years and think about current disruptions. Despite publishing in 1997, he predicts does a solid prediction of both what became Tesla and Google Docs.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
