The new Amazon Cube will be shipped on June 21, 2018. This is the first TV "remote control" that is 100% voice controlled, and it is not a marginal improvement over conventional remote controls. It is certainly considered as a technology and usability jump of magnitudes.
But this is not the first time Amazon jumped the curve. In the mid 90's, Amazon was the first to sell books online and became a major player in the book retail industry. Amazon has announced to implement the delivery of products via drones. These are two more examples where Amazon is creating solutions that are not just improvements of a certain offering. They mark milestones in the evolution of the usage of technology.
Amazon seems to follow the same path as Apple did by doing what Steve Jobs said once: make products not twice as good but 10 times better.
Does your company have the ability to jump the curve? Let's assume you have an insurance brokerage firm. Can you create a service for your clients that adds a component that they cannot say no to? If yes, you have jumped the curve.
