NOURNEWS - According to economic analysts, 2022 can be considered the year of big technology. If so, 2023 will be the year of "small technology", where the innovation, agility and industrial and commercial value creation of products that allowed big technology to become bigger through an open and competitive environment will be provided to small technologies.
The company Meta has faced a decrease in revenue for the first time since its establishment, and the industry has laid off more than 88 thousand workers, more importantly, the takeover of Twitter by Elon Musk also fired many of its employees, causing the users of this social platform to specific and specialized options should be pushed.
Maybe big tech should never have been allowed to get this big because, for example, the five biggest tech companies in the United States, at over $1.4 trillion, have more revenue than the GDP of Mexico or Spain, but the real problem isn't size or even power.
The real problem is what it uses its size and power for and what are its effects on the global economy and the freedom of nations and people's lives.
The world's best programmers will experience mass layoffs in Silicon Valley and realize that security and income are not guaranteed by big tech, although a small number of those laid off will in turn become entrepreneurs for the next wave of small tech innovation.
Industry and business activists know that big tech companies have too much power and have done more harm than good, and that big companies like Facebook, Amazon, Alphabet, and Apple need to go, as market trends are creatively breaking them.
Currently, the countries of the world are looking to surpass the dominance of the United States in this industry by investing in technology companies and infrastructure, and this means that big technologies have ultimately disappointed their users, many investors, regulators and policy makers. There is an opportunity for small-scale technologies to achieve the sustainable growth they have been waiting for years and save the world from a threat that is increasingly targeting the lives of its inhabitants.
