Let's Take a Trip Down Memory Lane

We want to take you back to a time when BIG TECH companies were starting out because all of them have veered heavily away from their initial appeal and it could be time to refocus.
Nowadays, Big Tech companies such as Apple, Microsoft, Google and Facebook are THE most profitable companies in all of human history and it's all because of us users.
π±Who and What Was Their Initial Purpose?π±
π Google - Born 1996 - Purpose - FREE search engine
π Gmail - Born 2004 - Purpose - FREE email service
π Microsoft - Born 1975 - Purpose - FREE operating system installed on as many computers as possible
π Facebook - Born 2004 - Purpose - FREE website to find your old friends
π Apple - Born 1976 - Purpose - EXPENSIVE range of Fashionable devices
π Amazon - Born 1994 - Purpose - Online Book Seller
Bearing in mind these origins, would it surprise you to know they all feature in the top 10 list of most profitable companies by market cap?
π°π΅ How Did They Get So Rich? π°π΅
Two words - Your Data
Scanning your emails, your searches, your habits, your contacts, your connections, your personal details, loves, fears, morals.
They know your political standing, your health status, if you're expecting a child, if you're on the move. Your retina, your DNA, your blood and your fingerprints.
On top of owning all of this, these companies have also been put in place by governments as ''Gatekeepers of the Internet'' and the future is looking very bleak indeed.
π€These companies lurve their AI π€
The people in power of these companies are also the ones at the forefront of AI technology. Would they be doing this for the benefit of human kind or to become more powerful than ever?
Zuckerberg, Musk, Larry Page (Google Deepmind AI), Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Apple Inc. are all working separately on developing AI to be at the front of the AI arms race.
They said; ''You'll own nothing and be happy'', what they didn't mention was that THEY'LL own everything!
