Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The development of gutter shields completely replaced the need for gutter cleaning services, indicating a discontinuous technology. It is not a complementary technology as it replaces the existing solution rather than complementing it. It is not a logical extension as it is not building upon an existing technology. It is also not incremental as it represents a significant change and improvement in the solution.
