Table 2.4: Space/time
| Before Disaggregation | |
| People held all conversations face to face. The only way to converse with someone was to meet in person. | |
| The Innovation and What It Does | |
| Telephones. Telephones let people speak to each other no matter the distance between them. | |
| Outcome | |
| It’s far more convenient to pick up the phone than to fly to New Zealand for a conversation. And the ability to talk to friends all over the world lets people form and maintain communities. | |
