Google has been the world's most valuable brand for the last five years and now it has been announced that Apple is. The Apple brand is now worth $153 billion. Last year it passed Microsoft for world's most valuable technological company. Of the top ten brands reported Monday, six were technology related. McDonalds also rose a couple spots. Fast food seems to be the fastest growing category right now, because of healthy items added. Nineteen of the top one hundred brands came from emerging markets, which has changed from thirteen last year. Toyota is again the world's most valuable car company. The total value of the top one hundred companies went up 17%, $2.4 trillion.
It's not hard to believe that Apple has moved to the number one spot for most valuable companies. Almost everyone has an Ipod, Ipad, or computer made by Apple. It seems like Apple could be the number one company of our generation. If people don't have an Ipod, they usually are wanting one. Technology has definitely taken over our country and is a big part of our culture.
