📈 How the gross revenues reported for the last two decades of the 5 largest technology companies in the world look like. 📊 Each of the mentioned companies has an interesting history (especially since some of them probably would not have existed without the appearance of others in the group - although we are talking in hypothetical terms) from the founding, the products created, the creation and development of digital infrastructure, to the scandals and issues relating to legislation and buying other companies. 🤖 With the increasing popularity of the use of Artificial Intelligence in society, it is interesting to watch how the future course of both this family - Big 5 Tech and the competitors on the market will be influenced

🧪 Let's look at the sport from a less popular perspective - that of the elephant in the room 🏆 Probably the most popular international competition dedicated to Sports is taking place right now in Paris. Peace, work, dedication, constructive competition, diplomacy, prestige and popularity - those are the values that underlie the organization of the Olympic Games. 🧬 Fairness was also supposed to be placed there among the others but nowadays it could be seen as only a mirage taking into account the (supposed) proportion of usage of banned performance enhancing substances. 🔎 It is not clear if or when we will have the opportunity to fully know the exact number of athletes who have used or are using banned performance enhancing substances. 📊 The graph image shows only the number of athletes that were caught, the real number is substantially higher, but we can live with the hope that gradually the professional sport will become a healthier and fairer activity, not just utopia.

🌐 As the world gears up for a landmark year in democratic participation, this insightful map illustrates the electoral landscape of 2024. With an estimated of 2 billion eligible voters—about a quarter of the global population—poised to cast their ballots we witness the power of democracy in action. 🔎 Of course that the authenticity and transparency of these elections varies from country to country as there are countries that have a low score of democracy index (their respective regimes being percieved as autocratic) that still hold elections. Even countries as dictatorial as North Korea still manage to have a form of elections within their rulling party - only for the show of course. ‼ Even though there are a lot of contexts as the prior example this year is probably the year with the biggest electorate in human history and could be a very interesting context of analysing how the democracy values have evolved and integrated within each culture and country since the start of this century. #worldpolitics #elections #electionyear #politicalmap #politicaldata #democracy #democracyvalues #USelections #EUelections
