1. Probably a good idea to block. These large tech companies seem to stifle technology

advances simply by their bloated companies taking over these fledging companies (or they may be doing pretty good, you just don't want the new technologies to be swamped w/ 'corporateness' if this is a word).

Only reason I'm saying this is that new companies in the past with super technologies / software made it fine on their own, and increased in size and demand after the opening up of the data networks.

This was done via a via splitting up of the telephone companies (regional ones) from AT&T, and other decree requirements which opened up the data world to the entire world (the old telephone companies couldn't get into the data field unless a separate subsidiary of the corporation was created and the data opers. were moved there).

Parts of this data world are constantly expanding and/or developing such as VR (virtual reality) and we're probably yet to see all of the future enhancements coming in these new fields. Exciting!
