I think the realization of what global connectivity can produce is still in its infancy. IoT is huge. We are on the verge of controlling our entire homes with the wallet-sized computers in our pockets. I say on the verge because it hasn

You could find out how many people were dependent by taking it away. What would happen if tomorrow Twitter was completely gone? I guess society would move on. But probably one way they/we would move on is by building another Twitter.
