Fundamental Disruptive Change

Via Slashdot, we find this note about how the masses will innovate...

The new head of MIT's Media lab argues that societal advances, previously the domain of a small group of individuals, will now become the product of millions of people due to changes in education and technology. He also offers advice to would-be start-ups and entrepreneurs, including an argument against instrumentalism: "The successful will look for fundamental disruptive change."

Good advice, and also a cautionary comment about nanofactory technology and  the rapid disruptive change on a fundamental level that it is likely to bring.
