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".

Munchausen Syndrome by Technology

When an IT worker, usually in a leadership role, deliberately messes up something that works well to make their job seem irreplaceable (i.e., the hero). Symptoms include front line staff and vendors running around frantically in a "sky is falling" scenario only to discover after great detective work and duress one pulled wire or misconfigured group policy, which was not that way yesterday.

"Check the cable?"

"The desk hasn't moved from this spot in ten years."

"Check it anyway."

"Well I'll be .... printer's working fine now! Fourth time this week. Peter was just here yesterday.... you thinking what i'm thinking?
"Munchausen Syndrome by Technology."

Or it could be as involved as playing educational games, practising in science experiments in a virtual lab or taking a virtual field trip
