From Pew Research's State of the Media http://bit.ly/Ac4CQ3: "In the last year a small number of technology giants began rapidly moving to consolidate their power by becoming makers of 'everything' in our digital lives. Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and a few others are maneuvering to make the hardware people use, the operating systems that run those devices, the browsers on which people navigate, the e-mail services on which they communicate, the social networks on which they share and the web platforms on which they shop and play."
