Do we need Google? no
Do we need Microsoft? no
Do we need Facebook? noWe had an Internet and Web life before them and it was great.
The whole situation with big techs today is totally artificial. It is a market incident. An historical singularity that won't last.

@gael Google was out there since like forever, Facebook literally created the modern concept of social media. Microsoft has done a shit ton for tech as a whole. I'm not saying they're necessarily good, but these companies certainly created a new world, the one we know today.

No, there was search & social media (And NTTP/Newsgroups) before Google & Facebook. BBS predates websites.
Microsoft founded 1975 (ported Dartmouth BASIC to 8080) & Web sites are from about 1992, not widespread to public till 1993.
Arpanet, the predecessor to the non-Web Internet had TCP/IP from 1972. The non-Web Internet approximately 1988.
We never needed MS (DOS was a clone of CP/M). We never needed WFW3.11 or Win9x (Win10 based on WinNT 1993).
UNIX 1976. Free BSD before NT. -
