@monkbent it’s odd, since I thought this was the predominant thought model until disruption came along. I used to call it absorptive though. -
@eableson yes. That's why disruption was such a big deal when it came out. But the pendulum has swung too far. -
@monkbent Complete agreement. Mull on absorptive over obsoletion though. New thing absorbed the function and revenue, while the need remains -
@eableson it's a good word. But I've already published ;) -
@monkbent ah well, next time :-)
