The Great Disruption 

1. A frightening new historical era that began in 2008 with the crash of world economies and the simultaneous collapse of trust in governing institutions. 2. A wrenching shift in human society resulting from 50 years of unsustainable development, over-population, environmental degredation, economic injustice and rapid resource depletion. 3. The growing realization that sophisticated "financial engineering" cannot solve the growing list of real-world problems.
The Great Disruption could be the biggest challenge in human history since the collapse of the Roman Empire in 466 A.D.

disruption 

(Noun)
Buzzword used by Silicon Valley gurus, often in conjunction with innovation, as in 'disruptive innovation'. It's supposed to sound cool and radical - like revolution - but it's also terribly empty, so technies and entrepreneurs using the term constantly have to explain why the digital world is so disruptive, compared to like the Industrial Revolution. Which is where it all falls flat.
"We are creating a 3D World, where Data and Digital combine to Disrupt current business models. Only when that happens, you actually see Disruption at work."
