Are we not interfering with natural resources for the sake of achieving technological advancement? Today Global warming like situations are arises ? Most of the research found that Carbon-foot-prints and green-house-gases effect are major distortion and cause of Global warming; technological setup’s high power consumption is main cause of increasing carbon-foot-print, increase green-house-gases... yes these are very strong reason which says technology is main contributor of distortion and disruption in our case of online space.

It can be considered ‘disruption’ to intermediaries as it is eliminating intermediaries and connecting consumers directly with the Products and directly managing Demand v/s Supply statistics.

• We had lot many era passed since ancient time one from Stone Age to now information age. Information is power; It has been proven now information is routes of existence of humanity and livelihood for economies today.

(including our Business domain which is Travel and Hospitality)

• Increased collaborations : We can literally connect to any one of our employees, leaders and co-workers anytime, anywhere. With this dramatic increase in collaboration comes a heightened level of flexibility in communication, allowing co-workers to facilitate continued interaction no matter where each individual may be.

• Improved cost management using M2M, IoT and mobility in business operations.

• Improved way of Security by tech enabled services.

• Big Data advantages finding new markets, new opportunities and growth prospects. Technology changed the world and impacted negatively as well in last few years: (consider these are Disruption)

• Brought down people-to-people personal connect

• Physical moments are lowered and it impacted on health badly from teen agers to elderly.

• E-waste is a major call around the world where hardware is obsolete so frequently and generating E-waste; re-use, re-cycle is a challenge.

• Challenge of reducing carbon footprints: The environment is affected very badly due to greenhouse gases effect by high-energy-consumptions of larger technological setups.

The humanity need controlled way of technological advancement and enhancement; social value, morale, ethics and value system should continue play primary role of change management process where technology may follow the path onwards to make this universe better-place-to-live.
