The only way to avoid disruption is to constantly do what you would if you were just starting out.

All we're really doing is repeating technologies that were tried 10, 20, 30 years ago... it's just that it was too expensive, too unusable, and we didn't have the enabling technologies to make it possible.
technology opportunity today
Any time where the delta b/w what is possible and how things work today is at its widest, that's an opportunity to go build new technology.
technology done enabling
Look for new enabling technologies that create a wide gap between how things have been done and how they can be done.
technology building disruption
Every single industry is going through a major business model and technology oriented disruption.
existential crisis existential-crisis
Startups live at the intersection of existential crisis and everything going perfectly great.
technology building platforms
Modularize, don't customize. Build a platform as opposed to building all of the custom technology and custom vertical experiences.

Jeff Bezos is opening a retail store and owns a newspaper. Turns out everything we thought about the Internet is wrong.

Always look for these changing technology factors- any market that has a significant change in the underlying raw materials ...or enabling factors, is an environment that is about to change in a very significant way.
technology enough standing-out
The best technology is aimed far enough in the future that it stands out, but close enough to the present that it blends in.
