The Joy of Disruption

A thought on entrepreneurship:

Perhaps it is the natural troublemaker in us which derives joy from “disruption”–seeing how things are quite lame, and how we can disrupt it and do it even better!

For example, I’ve always found it lame that people sold Lightroom presets for money and thus I created my own for free and distributed them openly (without having to force people to sign up for some annoying newsletter).

Or making my photos available online as full resolution images for free, instead of lame watermarks or restricting downloading of my images.

I also hated “drm” (digital rights management) which is just annoying. Thus keeping my stuff open and free for others to share, duplicate, or share.

What do you desire to disrupt?

The way to innovate: Discover something old that you don’t like which you desire to disrupt, to replace, to fix or subvert. “Creative destruction” as the innovative notion.

You’re the change!

What annoys you, frustrates you, or pisses you off? Create the solution to your own problems in life and share them with others!
