Does the fashion industry really "dwarf" the tech industry?
Random googling tells me that the global fashion industry does about $1.2 trillion in revenue per year. Microsoft, Google, Apple, and IBM together do a bit over $400 billion per year, so about a third of that, and that's only four (albeit large) tech companies. I'd be surprised if you couldn't more than triple that number after you accounted for all the other tech companies in the world.
Samsung's electronics division does almost $200 billion/year. Foxconn does $120 billion. Hitachi is also about $120 billion. HP is about $110 billion. Amazon is $75 billion. Intel is $50 billion. Need I go on?
