NSTopinion 'Disruption' is becoming an everyday word of late, with its meaning getting trivialised.

Anything that is related to high technology can qualify as ‘disruption’, be it a simple handheld device or paraphernalia claimed as crucial to transforming the world. - AFP file pic"DISRUPTION" is becoming an everyday word of late. The meaning gets trivialised. Anything that is related to high technology can qualify as “disruption”, be it a simple handheld device or paraphernalia claimed as crucial to transforming the world.

By then it is often too late for any meaningful counteraction. For example, the use of handheld devices by billions worldwide. Such “non-tech” disruptions, however, usually come about at the tail end of a long technological journey with no easy solution at hand. More recently, WHO warned of a “severe disruption” to bio-medical supplies worldwide, making effective control more difficult, beginning with the lack of basic items such as personal protective equipment.

Put another way, the tragedy is about being “unprepared” or even “oblivious” to the long-term negative and fatal bio-outcomes; yet the common people, unknowingly, are pushed to take risks by some economic forces.
