The big digital shift creates winners and losers…

“The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but

data”

“Alphabet (Google’s parent company), Amazon, Apple, Facebook

and Microsoft—look unstoppable. They are the five most

valuable listed firms in the world. Their profits are surging: they

collectively racked up over $25bn in net profit in the first quarter of

2017. Amazon captures half of all dollars spent online in

America. Google and Facebook accounted for almost all the

revenue growth in digital advertising in America last year.”

The Economist, Print edition | Leaders | May 6th 2017
