Deceptive Monopoly!

Deceptive: Adjective: misleading
Monopoly: noun: control over a trade or product, complete dominance

Monopoly is something that every company dreams to achieve in its particular domain. But is it safe for the society?
In my personal view, monopoly is like a poison. It turns angels into demons. Monopoly is like a ticking time bomb about go off. A danger to the society, monopoly is synonymous to Satan according to me.

Just consider a company that has no competitors strong enough to move its market share, what would happen? According to me, the pressure on company would go down. Its expenditure on innovation and price constriction would be of lesser importance to the company. Thus it would be harm to the society.

Just consider if there was just one newspaper, you would only get to know what they would tell you. You would only know what they want you to know. This is a kind of slavery!
Just consider if there was only one cellular operator. You would have never been able to get flat Rupee1 call! Bus ek rupaiya! No schemes for messaging, no 100% recharge vouchers! Soch k bhi darr lagta hai!
Just consider if there was only one news channel. Ok that was a bad example! One news channel gives the same news as the other!

Well, with this article I am targeting two major IT giants and in a particularly personal experience of mine, the audience or the “AAM JANTA”.

The first IT giant I wish to target is, Microsoft, according to me the 2nd best company I would prefer to work for and the 1st worst company I would like to work against! Just contact your 51 friends and ask them which Operating System you have on your computer at home. Trust me a clear majority will say Microsoft.
The cause is that Microsoft either sells you the OS, or simply hands it over to you! We know the biggest observable piracy is through Microsoft. And this is such a company that benefits from piracy of its products and so it does not do much about it!
The effect is such that many cool OS are lined up in the market but are still being left out unseen! Remember I featured Splash Top in My Opinion once!

The second company is Google. Google according to me is the best company to work for or against. If you work for them, you are King of The World! If you work against them, you’ll eventually work for them, coz Google will eventually buy you or will sign a beneficial agreement of some sort!
Now I just wrote so many things in favor of them, you might be thinking maybe I lost my point! But I still hold my concern firm that Google according to me is the biggest threat mankind has ever had!
Google is set to kill point of view of people. We get most of our knowledge on internet through Google. What if they give us single side of the story all the time? Google can actually make us Zombies who shall believe what Google wants them to believe!
Though they have a fair monopoly, but the most threatening form as well!

My last concern is the audience that does not speak out! Miss Neha Jini today unknowingly inspired me to realize what is happening around. Very truly I discovered that my audiences are allowing themselves to make my view the only view by not disapproving me at any time. She had the courage to let it on my face against an article of mine. But still she is a criminal; she dint let others know her side of the story!
A mute audience is the biggest ruining factor of the society!
