technology gap

In their original paper, Nelson and Phelps (1966) developed the concept of “technological gap”, defined as the percentage difference between the technology operated by the typical machine in the economy and the one embodied in the leading-edge machine.

The technology gap between Nokia phones back in the day when smartpho.nes came about had destroyed Nokia's title of "king of cell phones".

technological act of god

If a gamma ray burst or solar flare is not to blame for an information systems failure(s) that no geek on this earth, working or idle, can possibly explain.

The event shall not be considered a 'true' TAOG unless an electronic payment system failure results in thousands or perhaps millions of individuals being catapulted into economic catastrophe.

Debtor "My pay wasn't direct deposited because of the (blank) crash and they can't cut me a cheque because they only do direct deposit"

Creditor "By saving a year's worth of take home pay as an emergency fund you would'nt be in this situation now would you.

Save money and think positive and stuff like this wouldn't happen to you. It is what it is - a technological act of god"
