FOLLOWER: FRONTLINE investigates Amazon. Is Amazon taking over the world a good thing? FOLLOWER: Asking the management of the company ...
What would you say to someone who feels that people are becoming more and more like robots? That is not the experience I had in setting it up.
FOLLOWER: And those are no more There. Most people can think there is a very high level of security on Amazon. And that thinking would be wrong.
The tools are not what I call battle-tested. Some people ask if Amazon is a single entity. The question of democracy is, are we right as one company is winning capitalism?
What do you and Jeff think about a divorce call? Easily because
the success of the company does not mean that it is somehow too great.
FOLLOWER: Now the main thing ... Governance has always been very important the idea. FOLLOWER: “Amazon Empire”. Jeff Bezos has already won the sales pitch. He now has a plan to unite the planets.
Bezos sets out his plans to consolidate the area. Bezos is known for his growth, and he is now filming the moon.
HISTORY: In May 2019, Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, unveiled his latest product. This is Blue Moon's location.
It is time to go back to the moon, this time to stay. Jeff has repeatedly said that the most important job he does is to work in space.
What he built on Amazon is very important and interesting, and that is, it has changed the trade. But only commercial transformation.
FOLLOWER: Bezos plans to plan a new course for the future of humanity. The produced earth rotated to create gravitational force produced by the force of the medium.
These are very large buildings, miles at the end. And they catch a million or more people each. FOLLOWER: It's been his vision since he was a child. I am in high school. And I want to highlight this saying: "The world is limited, and if the world economy and population continue to grow, space is the way to go."
I still believe that. The way Jeff Bezos sees the purchase as an example of how modern society is you live better than your parents and grandparents. And you want, you know, future generations to continue to have a growing life.
These are good. People will want to stay here. FOLLOWER: Bezos unveiled his overseas plans during a time of growing concern for the state he has built here on earth.
Amazon is a huge distraction, from books to stores to grocery stores. FOLLOWER: For more than 25 years, Jeff Bezos has been disrupting and transforming almost every aspect of our modern life.
When you first connect the dots, you see that Amazon is building all the invisible infrastructure of our future Amazon announces health partnerships ...
Amazon assists C.I.A. in creating a secure cloud ... How much internet do you use? That is a good question, however,. FOLLOWER: But in recent years, Amazon-- and Bezos-- have been hotly awaited for their aggressive tactics and growing power. Bezos laughs All the good things about Amazon are also something we should be afraid of.
FOLLOWER: Last year, we were investigating how Jeff Bezos built his empire-- and at what cost. And so think about this.
Big things start small.
FOLLOWER: Jeff Bezos' empire comes from, not in Silicon Valley, but on Wall Street. It was there that the young graduate of Princeton began working in the early 1990s, in a secret hedge fund called D.E. Shaw.
David Shaw was the one who changed Wall Street by
we present the data. And I think Jeff accepted that, the idea of "Hey, if you have data, in the end, you win."
One of the things David did Shaw asked Jeff Bezos what he had done was to go and investigate new businesses, and especially, this new thing in the early '90s called the World Wide Web.
dialing module connects We all know that communication transformation is ongoing in this country. What is the Internet? She is the mother of all networks.
Information roads. It's like controlling your distance from the earth. FOLLOWER: Bezos was quick to do so see the unused power of new digital formats and was willing to step into it. I have found this shocking figure that web usage is growing at 2,300% per year.
So, I decided that I would try and find a business plan that made sense in the context of that growth, and I considered books as the first best product that could be sold online.
Because books are incredibly rare in some way, they are more plentiful items in the book category than any other category so far.
So, if you have so many things, you can build an online store that would not otherwise exist. MBALI: The shop he was in
thinking was absent, so he decided to build it himself.
The reaction to Jeff's first idea of selling books online was very surprising, you know, to a lot of people close to him. Her mother tried to persuade her to do it just at night or on the weekends.
He didn't want to see him quit his job Jeff called, he told me
that he and MacKenzie quit their jobs, and they moved to Seattle and started a company. I said, "Well, well, what are you going to do?
" He said, "We'll sell books." I said, "Good." He said, "On the Internet." I said, “O. Jeff, why would anyone buy something from you? ”
And he said, "Well, we're going to have more books than anyone else. FOLLOW: One of the first words Bezos thought of on his new website was Relentless.com Why" Innocent? Relentless used to say, "We go on no matter what."
Eventually, apparently, he decided that "Relentless" was not
well balanced. The Amazon, the largest river in the world, existed. Amazon means big.
In terms of fatigue, standing idle, that is, is that a good description of Jeff? No. It’s not that Jeff doesn’t give up on anything, that if Jeff puts his mind to the goal he thinks he can achieve, he won’t stop until he is found to be wrong or even achieves it.
Jeff and MacKenzie were renting a house in Bellevue. Then we moved to a small, second-floor office in the southern part of Seattle.
HISTORY: Shel Kaphan was the first Amazon employee, one of nine people inside the Amazon who agreed to talk on camera. Nowhere, so, the fact that it could have the kind of position in the world it has now, I had no clue. FOLLOWER: In July 1995, Amazon.com came to life.
It was an amazing new phenomenon, it was small and mysterious, and very hard to imagine, but the universe that ruled the Amazon was now non-existent.
Amazon.com, this visual store claims to be the world's largest bookstore. FOLLOWER: It didn't take long for Bezos' point to seem plausible. What makes us different is the choice, the luxury-- we bring it to the desktop.
If our catalog were printed on paper, it would be the equivalent of seven New York City textbooks. FOLLOWER: The company quickly passed the garage and had more than 50 employees.
In 1996, James Marcus applied to be number 55. There was very little interest in the air in this area, and of course, in this area.
The point, Jeff Bezos was the first to interview all job seekers. So I was taken to his office. He wanted to see how fast he was standing. He always wanted to know your S.A.T. points.
Did you want to know your S.A.T?
points? Always, yes. How old were you at that time? I was 36 or 37. This is the first sign I made for Amazon.com. Green spray paint on white poster board.
Jeff was not a man of mythology at the time, he was not - the richest man in the world. Here is my computer, Amazon.com on screen. "Hello, Jeff Bezos."
He was a young, dumb man with sandy hair sitting at a desk with a big laugh. laughing in many squares But he was not intimidating, he was a normal boy in an amazing way.
HAL 9000 hat, very important. Hal and I shared a birthday, we were both born on January 12. It was not, you know, a big Napoleon wish.
One of my favorite people, Thomas Edison, here is his first lamp model. He is known as, "One percent breath, 99 percent sweat."
It turns out that the ideas are the simplest part, the murder is all that was on Jeff's mind from the beginning. One of his second type of commanders said to me, "You must understand
that Jeff wants to sell more things than books. And Jeff's idea is that in the near future, you could buy a kayak on Amazon.
