From the summary:
As of last week, seven out of 10 of the world’s most valuable companies by market cap are tech companies
Could someone define "tech company" for me and, further, could you explain to me which type of companies in 2040 will still be "non-tech companies?"
We used to define tech companies as things like chip makers. Now, if I have a photo sharing company that is online, it's a "tech" company. But if I have a company like, say, UPS with a global distribution network using amazing tech to organize that incredibly complex operation, I am not a tech company.
To me, Amazon is a tech company insofar as it offers cloud computing services. It is not a tech company insofar as it deploys technology to sell books and snowblowers.
