According to Zelikman (2014), “There are 6.8 billion people on the planet and 4 billion of them use a mobile phone. Only 3.5 billion of them use a toothbrush.” This fact is completely ridiculous, because apparently, roughly 59% of the world has a phone, but only roughly 51% use a toothbrush. Apple, Google, and Microsoft all compete for the success that allows them to thrive. From iOS, to Android, to even Windows Mobile OS, these companies, in attempt to be the best electronic producer and distributor in the world, create the best smart phones, tablets, and computers possible. The significance of these companies is obvious, without them, the world would be completely different, lacking the technology that the world is powered by. A few essential

Microsoft sold 36.1 million phone devices during the quarter, topping the 35.2 million phones sold by Apple, says Neowin.” Another fact that might be hard

The company of Google has been very successful, purchasing and starting up companies like YouTube, Android, Calico, and many more, Google has had a major impact on the world and things people do on a daily basis. Larry Page described his childhood house as, “was usually a mess, with computers, Science and Technology magazines and Popular Science magazines all over the place.” Ever since his childhood, he was interested in technology, and oddly enough, Wreathe (2016) found, “His dad was a pioneering computer science professor at Michigan State University, and his mom taught computer programming.” He had people that knew lots of computers at home, and he was learning a ton from those magazines and the computers themselves. It’s not very surprising that Page went on to co create one of the most used websites in the Internet’s short lived
