...technology that disrupts.

No, really: "Disruptive technology" sounds like [new or innovative] technology that changes the traditional way we do things. For example, in a "traditional" classroom, teachers give students an assignment--let's say a paper--that the student completes by applying ink to paper and then handing the finished product to the teacher in person. The internet has disrupted this traditional method, because now students can write a paper on a computer and send it to the teacher without ever touching ink to paper. (For that matter, a student may even send his paper via text message or something else WEIRD AND CRAZY.)

Disruptive technology is what traditionalists could call WEIRD AND CRAZY.
