Tech giants claim they fuel innovation, but are they actually stifling competition and creativity?
On one hand, companies like Google, Apple, and Amazon have the resources to invest billions in R&D, pushing the boundaries of what technology can do. Their platforms connect billions, set global standards, and often make our lives easier.
But at what cost?
Smaller startups struggle to survive in a landscape dominated by these giants. Many promising innovations are either acquired and shelved or never see the light of day due to anti-competitive practices. The result: less choice, higher prices, and a chilling effect on true disruption.
Are we witnessing a golden age of tech advancement, or a new era of digital gatekeeping?
When a handful of companies control data, infrastructure, and distribution, they also control the future of innovation itself.
The big question: Should tech monopolies be broken up to restore competition, or are they the only engines powerful enough to drive real progress?
