[kictanet] Are Apple, Facebook, Google and Amazon Unstoppable?

[Ahmed Mohamed Maawy]

To some extent yes, unstoppable due to a number of factors mentioned in the
article.

But then the extent at which Technology has grown still leaves a huge gap
when it comes to Product. And R&D is more relevant now than it is anytime
in the last few years. So the market is still there for the takers and the
brilliant innovators.
