Disruptive Technologies

Many of these are already being called out here, but here is a handy chart from the Alitmeter Group's Jeremiah Owyang: a list of "Disruptive Technologies" along the y-axis and, on the x-axis, Description and Example. 

Index of 2013 Disruptive Technologies
 
One Line Goal:  List disruptive technologies in 2013 on one page, with your help in the comments.
The number of technologies that are creating disruptions to companies and ecosystems are increasing at an alarming rate. Even though Altimeter rated the technologies that matter from last week’s SXSW, we see even more technologies emerging on the heels of mobile world congress, and CES. Expect even more technologies to emerge, radically altering the power shift of those who use these technologies to gain power over existing institutions.

In an attempt to track and then analyze these technologies, I’ll host the following “industry index”, where I list out examples, and the community adds to it in comments. I’ve done this multiple times over previous years, which often results in discrete research projects, market definition reports, and ratings and rankings of technology vendors.

I’ve kicked off the list with 10 technologies I see (with help from colleague Chris Silva), and at Altimeter, we’ve embarked on looking at research themes that impact business. With your help through the comments, we can keep this list updated for the year.
