Disruptive technologies have to be popular, of course—otherwise they wouldn’t disrupt. But popularity isn’t enough. Lots of things are popular without being disruptive (Xbox 360, for example). Disruptions are also necessarily controversial and hard to understand at the moment of introduction. A sure sign that something new is disruptive is people attacking it and debating what it is and what it means—especially people already in the disrupted market.
