Recode has announced The Recode 100, featuring the people in tech, business and media who mattered in 2017. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos has made it to get the top spot in this list.

Jason Del Rey says, “Let’s imagine, for a moment, a decade from now. The year is 2027.

By then, Amazon has become the largest online grocer in the United States — and it’s not even close.

In apparel, the e-commerce behemoth long ago surpassed Macy’s as the biggest retailer in the category, but now boasts multiple billion-dollar clothing brands of its own, too.

Amazon Alexa, the popular voice assistant, has overtaken Google as the most-used search engine — or voice engine, as they now say. It’s everywhere and powering the brains of everything.

And in the media world, Amazon has become the livestreaming partner of choice not only for the National Football League, but the National Basketball Association, too. (Adam Silver got his wish.)”.
