Amazon

Amazon refers to a multinational technology company based in the United States, primarily known for its e-commerce platform, which allows consumers to purchase a wide variety of goods online. Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, Amazon started as an online bookstore and has since expanded to include a vast range of products, digital streaming services, and cloud computing through Amazon Web Services (AWS). The term "Amazon" can also refer to the Amazon rainforest, one of the world's largest and most biodiverse tropical rainforests, located in South America. However, in the context of business and technology, it predominantly signifies the company that has played a significant role in transforming the landscape of retail and technology.
