Technology companies have contributed to creating an incredible amount of wealth in the past few decades. Today, tech companies are taking over as the most valuable companies across the world over oil and other big conglomerates. A report published recently shows how tech giants of the world have easily replaced big oil companies as the world’s most valuable publicly traded companies. Tencent taking over Asia as the most valuable company is just another extension of that growing trend.
