Facebook, then called Meta, is among the largest tech companies the world has ever seen.
It was Mark Zuckerberg who developed it in his dorm room at Harvard, before he dropped out to pursue his dreams of creating a platform to connect everyone. But that history isn't actually what Zuckerberg had planned from the beginning.
As the tech company Apple matures, it is no longer a child that needs nursing. Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, has left the company for more than too long.
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken over the world, and many countries are either recovering or still fighting hard.
Since the first time the COVID-19 was declared pandemic, companies and businesses of all kinds were urged to care of their employees. And among the ways, was by enforcing the Work From Home policy.
This method has been proven effective in limiting the spread of the virus.
It was back in 2019, when the world saw its first novel 'COVID-19' coronavirus case. Years and billions of vaccine shots later, the world is still struggling to contain the virus.

In the West, there is Apple, and in the East, there was Huawei that was previously China's largest smartphone vendor, before being forced to pull out from the U.S. market.
When it comes to business, and its strategy to penetrate the market and profit, there is no clear way to justify what is wrong and what is right.
Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, is a non-interchangeable unit of data stored on inside a blockchain. Because each token is uniquely identifiable, NFTs differ from blockchain cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, and can have different values, based on the seller and the market's perception about it.
There is no doubt that Google has encompassed the entire World Wide Web and beyond. In fact, the brand has become synonymous with the internet itself, and is so ubiquitous that the word "google" is also considered a verb.
While the tech titan has come a long way to reach its success, it has a few tricks under its sleeves to ensure that it stays the king.
