I think it's important to differentiate between the effects the products these companies create have, and the effects the companies themselves have on world/US culture.
Clearly the products have had a profound impact on culture, but I think the impact would have been the same if they had been developed by Exxon or Halliburton.
As far as the cultural impact of the companies themselves, I think it's been modest at best.
