iPhone as a disruptive technology
I’ve been reading The Innovator’s Dilemma recently. The iPhone seems the perfect example of a disruptive technology as discussed in the book.
For example, I was using Drupal for this blog. However, I recently switched to Wordpress. There were a number of reasons for the switch, but the primary driver was that Wordpress now has an iPhone application.
Even before the iPhone application store came out, I was writing over half of my blog posts form the iPhone. There is just nothing like the convenience of being able to post whenever you have a spare instant: on the bus, at the beach, whenever a thought strikes you. Since Wordpress embraces that paradigm, I made the switch.
I wonder how long it will be before the iPhone replaces the laptop, like the laptop embraced the desktop before it.
