Question 1: 5 Similar products/ technologies

Netflix

Netflix is an example of a disruptive technology concept in society. It was introduced to create a new market and replace the other existing technologies in the entertainment industry. For instance, video cassettes and compact disks in the entertainment industry were constantly used (Christensen et al., 2013). Thus, streaming innovations like Netflix and YouTube have taken over the entertainment industry with the availability of cheap internet.

Light Bulb

The light bulb also has another disruptive technology that has successfully taken over the lighting industry. Initially, people used paraffin and other fossil fuels for lighting. Over the years, the evolutions and infrastructural developments have promoted the availability of electricity in various parts of the world; thus, light bulbs are replacing the traditional lighting technologies in the lighting industry.

Personal Computer Systems

Like the Apple Inc smartphone's innovation, the PC technology also disrupted the use of mainframe computers. The introduction of the mainframe computers embraced the first manifestations of digital technology. However, using the mainframe computers was advantageous since they needed many skills to operate and huge cash to own. Huge institutions only owned them, with the operators taking along for the training. Thus the introduction of the minicomputers changed the market for owning and managing computers.

Apple Technology

For a long time, Apple's innovations have maintained market relevance, and it is also considered a disruptive technology since it has shifted the market in the communication industry (Christensen et al., 2013). Initially, people relied on letters and public phones to connect. However, with the introduction of the Apple handset, one can compose a text and send it without going to the public phone booth to make calls.

3D Printing Technology

3D printing technology is another influential disruptive technology applicable to manufacturing innovation. The 3D printing technology is used in creating prototypes. Recently, the most disruptive devices and applications have been launched and are applicable in remote printing and manufacturing more sophisticated designs.

Question 2

Netflix

Netflix technology has also applied the alternative concept of the Robert and Berry Model. The Robert and Berry Model discusses the value of familiarity where the market can take time to integrate with an item but later makes it the favorite. Netflix was not embraced initially due to the high charges of the internet. Currently, it has taken over the market in the entertainment industry.

Light Bulb

The light bulb has also applied an alternative technology to the Robert and Berry Model. The model suggests the familiarity of the product with the new market. Most people continued using paraffin for lighting despite the availability of light bulbs due to the lack of electricity in their regions. However, with the availability of electricity currently, the lighting industry has familiarized itself with lightbulb technology.

Personal Computer Systems

The Personal Computer systems apply the concept of the Abernathy- Clark Model. The model classified the initial innovation of the mainframe computers as outdated technology, and new technology concepts were to be adopted. The concept of the model suggests that the intensity of the obsolescence of knowledge after the personal computer systems innovations was essential in establishing cheaper computers that also require minimum skills to operate.

Apple technology

Apple Technology, however, applied the concept of the Abernathy- Clark model. The model suggests two classifications of the innovations. However, the Apple handset technology relied on the idea of the model that indicates the intensity of changes in the industrial linkages promoted by the mobile phone innovations that simplified the innovations.

3D Printers Technology

The 3D printer technology, however, applied the knowledge of the Henderson- Clark model of innovation. The concept focuses mainly on distinguishing between the architecture and the components. The levels of innovation in making the Henderson- Clark model are high with the occurrence of radical innovation for a better display of images.
