Quotes from Ken:

Disruptive Innovation: Disruptive innovation, a term of art coined by Clayton Christensen, describes a process by which a product or service takes root initially in simple applications at the bottom of a market and then relentlessly moves up market, eventually displacing established competitors.
The medium is the message: A phrase coined by Marshall McLuhan meaning that the form of a medium embeds itself in the message, creating a symbiotic relationship by which the medium influences how the message is perceived.
With great power, comes great responsibility: Said to Peter Parker by Uncle Ben. Stan Lee, the writer of Spiderman, may have borrowed this from Voltaire who said it in french years earlier.
Master/Learner: The cycle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now I am the master. (Darth Vader)
Competition: I think it inevitably follows, that as new species in the course of time are formed through natural selection, others will become rarer and rarer, and finally extinct. The forms which stand in closest competition with those undergoing modification and improvement will naturally suffer most.(Charles Darwin)
