Smaller businesses are the ones who should be watching with a very jaundiced eye that being foisted on them by huge businesses. The huge businesses, you see, are there basically to screw them over and take their stuff.
Smaller businesses should be focused on sustainable income and growth, not the latest in wild tech claims. If they’re the latter? They’re the lame gazelle in the herd being hunted by lions.
