A new technology that replaces an existing technology is disruptive technology. There are many examples such as virtual reality, cryptocurrency, IoT, AI, etc.

If the new technology is well studied and the migration of it is done smoothly then it should have a positive impact as deciding to adopt a new technology should be based on the value it adds. If the implementation of a new technology was not studied well and there is no buy-in then you will certainly run into issues.

I would say disruptive technologies are considered to be those that significantly alter the way organizations, businesses or entire industries operate. These technologies force companies to alter the way they approach their operations and business, in a very short period of time or risk losing market share or becoming obsolete/irrelevant.

EXAMPLES - look at what PCs did to business in the late 80s and what the Internet did to business in the late 90s. Those were clearly disruptive.

There are currently over a dozen technologies that have begun to emerge that individually, in combination and collectively are creating a disruptive period of technological advancement unlike ANY in history.
