Why big tech is not a problem
The landscape of big tech is not shrinking, but rather expanding, indicating a healthy competitive environment. While companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Apple are becoming larger, they are also engaging in intense competition against one another, which counters the risk of monopolistic behavior. Additionally, the emergence of new players such as Salesforce and global competitors like ByteDance, Alibaba, and Tencent highlights the increasing number of significant tech companies on the rise. This growth is driven by globalization and the escalating role of technology and AI, allowing these companies to invest in long-term, high-risk projects that ultimately yield substantial benefits for society. The existence of multiple large tech firms fosters innovation and access to resources, paving the way for further advancements in the tech sector.
