Farewell Oil, Hello Tech: The World’s 5 Most Valuable Companies In 2006 And 2016 by yusufu16: 6:04pm On Sep 29, 2016 |
From smartphones and social media, to virtual reality and artificial intelligence, the tech-oriented world we live in today looks very different to how things were just 10 years ago. In 2006, oil giant Exxon Mobil headed the list of the world’s most valuable companies and Microsoft was the only tech firm near the top. Fast forward to August 2016, and Apple, Google’s Alphabet, Amazon and Facebook dominate the list, while ExxonMobil is the only oil company left in the top five. https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/09/farewell-oil-hello-tech-the-world-s-5-most-valuable-companies-in-2006-and-2016/

Interesting! Firstly, I.T, Science and Technology is a very lucrative industry. Secondly, What I could deduce from this is that countries like ours that depend solely on Oil as its major Foreign exchange Is still in the early stages of Global innovation. Apple releases new Phone now, every body will run and buy including our politicians, but Innoson is there, Instead of our govt to patronize it's own they prefer to dash Asia and US money. Why not include Innoson in the national fleets say security( police, Frsc, Army, etc) and see how gradually It will be all over Africa and beyond. (Change should begin with you first then me) |
