[Off-topic] Which tech-giant from top 5 will fall first? Which would you take charge of if you were to choose?

Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Facebook are ruling the world of business and tech. But nothing lasts forever and we know things won't remain the same forever. Who among the named 5 will fall from grace first, in your opinion? Why? If you were given the option to be the CEO of one of these companies, which one would you pick? Why? Eid mubarak to all!

Facebook will fall first. it has too much competition from all other social networks. Google provides the information that people have. Microsoft and Apple provide computer software for people and businesses. Amazon provides products for the consumer and it's already very widely used in many countries so it will not likely fall soon.

Thank you folks for your responses. 1. I think Facebook will fall first. Then Apple, Microsoft, Amazon and Google respectively. Out of them FB may seem the most powerful, but it seem to also have hit its ceiling. It has competitions on various layers and with the data leaks, they keep losing trust that may catch up on them someday. Apple has always produced for high end market only. While their aspirational value will keep them floating for longer, spoiler (not prediction) here is they will fall before MS,Google and Amazon. MS is the next vulnerable company. Their failure to catch up with the mobile market can be considered their worst failure since the computer market is predicted to shrink giving mobile devices its space. While they can still bounce back and go on quite long with their pc kingdom, they HAVE TO retry mobile. Google and Amazon are too strong and I don't really see them falling. 2. CEO of Microsoft I think. there are a whole lot of things to accomplish there. Google and Amazon wont really provide me with challange and I cant operate Apple's high end philosophy. Facebook wont probably be as much fun as MS.

Apple. As to why, Apple will fall for lack of innovation and extra premium for their products. Which is not particularly better but worse really compared to those of competitors Apple is already on the decline as the reports show apple has lost their position in the smartphone market from 2 to 3 and Huawei has taken Apple's place. Second to fall will will be Facebook.

In tech business, the company least flexible to changes goes first.Let us have a look. Google. Extremely flexible. They're far-sighted. They're already looking into a future where cellular phones might be obsolete. I don't much know about Amazon. They're not strictly a tech business company. They're currently trying to shove their hand in the streaming business, where they're facing harsh competition. Facebook. On the surface, they haven't really changed at all since they began journey. Talking about policies. They run the kind of business that keep people confined to a specific set of mind. But on the inside, FB is quite adaptive in tech. MS is possibly the least (surely the slowest) adaptive to changes. So I think, MS would be the first to go.

Sorry I missed it. Apple adapts quite fast. A lot of their things don't show on the surface. They will survive better.

Facebook is in danger for being untrustworthy, Apple is in decline or will be soon, Microsoft is threatened by Linux or to be proper Open culture. Google keeps getting fined left and right. But we must not forget, Amazon is trying to build drones for delivering goods and this is a change in business model of sorts. Changes of this kind can make or break you. Since none of the other 4 companies are falling right away and Amazon itself has competitions, add to it how Wallmart is making friends left and right with their latest being teaming up with Microsoft [not to mention their acquisition of Flipkart in India], I think Amazon may fall first. As to which one I'd choose, it's Google.
