"Last year, Amazon captured nearly $1 of every $2 Americans spent online. As recently as 2015, most people looking to buy something online started at a search engine. Today, a majority go straight to Amazon."
You know all those scifi movies where corporations in the future are the government in space and have giant armies and space ships? Well at this rate I am betting one of those solar empires will have "Amazon" on its flag.
In all seriousness though, people need to take the rise of companies like amazon and really think hard what we are loosing by enabling them to take over our lives. This is not a rant against corporations though, or even Amazon or the great people that work there, but its more about what we as a society allow.
