TD: People used to get paranoid about Bill Gates and his cronies taking over the world, I think it is high time to change that old tune and worry more, a lot more about Google, Apple, Amazon and Facebook.
Long gone are the days when Google was a search engine, Apple a manufacturer of consumer electronics, Amazon a mere retailer and Facebook a social network. These days it is more of a case of them having expanded into every little nook and cranny, businesswise, that can possibly imagine. So much so in fact, that soon, there will be little internet trafic that doesn't have to go through one of their servers for just that extra bit of filtering.
As I said in my original post, Google already has the power over who makes it in business and who doesn't, just by their placement in search results. I am not saying they are doing it but as we all know and history teaches us, if it can be done....
