Additionally, these are at best minor disruptions from an historical perspective. Think about Model T vs Nano, Apple II vs Ipad . ..
Just a note- that page is very mobile-unfriendly. The ingographic only fills half of my phone screen horizontally and they've somehow disabled zooming. I'm sure its very interesting but I couldn't.read it.
The page rendered fine on my machine, but I closed it immediately because I hate infographics, or rather I hate "infographics" in the current vogue. It's just like reading any other superficial journalism, except with somebody screaming in your face the entire time.
Now excuse me, I'm off to compose an innovative four-axis plot showing how Edward Tufte will spin in his grave under various future scenarios.

It made safari freeze on my iPad.
And mine. SVG would have been readable and not crash prone...
FWIW: It's making my netbook run slow and not loading well...etc. I thought I would try to find you a more mobile-friendly version but the entire site seems unfriendly, mobile or not.
Here's a direct link to the infographic:

Thanks. Substantially better.
I'd rather these infographics be done with CSS so that I could view it on my smaller screen and excerpt it for commenting.
Here's the list of innovations, more details are on the source infographic: iPad Google Apps Skype Zynga Tata Nano Netflix Pandora
The Tata Nano, really? From what I understand it's having a fraction of the impact it was projected to have.

I was hoping this would make the case that big innovations still happen in computing. If anything it made the opposite case.
Did Netflix really jump from 15.9 million subscribers in 2010 to 25.6 million in June 2011? That's an increase of about 10 million subscribers in about a year, compared to an increase of 3.6 million between 2009-2010.
I'm pretty sure they've underestimated the fall of the laptop/notebook market share in the upcoming years.
The graph has laptops and netbooks the wrong way around.
Zynga is even worse. They are neither innovative nor disruptive, they simply monetize acquired games and clone others with the predictability of Hollywood B movies.
