Not everything can be solved with technology, but many if not most things can be improved with it.

It's important to be specific here that "technology" does not necessarily mean an app, or code, or even computers. It means taking advantage of the rich ecosystem of products, services, and talent at our disposal today and improving something.

"Disruption" should be a positive change: Removing the old and replacing it with something new that's better in every respect.

Sadly "disrupting" companies often replace the old with some new thing that's not as good, but is more convenient, or is exactly the same just minus the middle man. That's not innovation, that's just optimization.
