Disruptive Technology is technology that disrupts the way people currently do things. Facebook can be considered disruptive because it changed the way we interact with people, and find out news about people.

monetizing it in some ways, and so the company should be able to
succeed. Nevertheless, a disruptive technology in itself does not
guarantee success. It's possible to have a disruptive technology
mismanaged in execution, allowing new players to take over the
incumbent.
