Uber and the cult of disruptive technology

Ottawa is the latest Canadian city to challenge the ride-sharing app Uber. This week, city officials carried out a sting operation and charged two drivers for breaking city bylaws. Uber bills its smartphone app as a matchmaking service, connecting people who need cab rides with drivers who've passed the company's screening process.

Andrew Keen is the author of The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet is Killing Our Culture and of the forthcoming book, The Internet Is Not The Answer
