The fact is, these Big Tech monopolies have managed to, through the might and magic of information technology and the internet, stifle other companies. They have kept innovators from creating, let alone competing, with many of the major industries we have, such as airlines, banking, healthcare, pharmaceuticals and telecommunications.
Brand new ideas move economies and always have. However, individuals and organizations are now limited to what they can bring to the public. First, there is the real fear of being hammered to death with questions and arguments from the Big Tech boys demanding to know how the concept will be presented and how it could affect them.
Then there’s the terrifying possibility of massive lawsuits deliberately filed to delay and obstruct progress. This, in turn, creates another problem. The concept may be incredible enough for a Big Tech to take interest and then take it over themselves, often with dire results. For example, when Skype, a once-massively popular chat service, was bought out by Microsoft, it quickly became far less interesting to use, bowing to the likes of Telegram and Discord.
