    What’s the order in which you would drop Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook from your life, if forced to — from first to last.

        I'm gonna write about this. But basically it's extremely deeply tied into my life, and there are few easy substitutes.

        Agreed. Would have to return to stores and physical books. Though I don't know where to buy that much cardboard...

        Waze is owned by Google. This complicates it. Do we count YouTube as google, too? Facebook and Amazon are clearly stickiest of 4 otherwise

        So if I pick Amazon, does everything powered by AWS disappear as well?

        same. Apple's appeal and utility are pure lifestyle inertia at this point for me.

        Yeah, and their competitors have mostly caught up with them. Curious to know why (or, perhaps, *how*) Farhad would keep them over Google

        Google/Amazon are so *infrastructurally* crucial, it's hard to imagine them gone. Like: w/o Amazon, do we lose AWS too?

        That's the real difficulty. Without Amazon you have no Netflix!
