Destructive Technology

Watching a presentation by Ben Cousins in GDC 2010 and learned a new term(it's new to me ; ) called Destructive Technology and realized there are tons of things around us belongs to this genre.

Quote:
Christensen defines a disruptive innovation as a product or service designed for a new set of customers.

"Generally, disruptive innovations were technologically straightforward, consisting of off-the-shelf components put together in a product architecture that was often simpler than prior approaches. They offered less of what customers in established markets wanted and so could rarely be initially employed there. They offered a different package of attributes valued only in emerging markets remote from, and unimportant to, the mainstream."
