>Then, are Uber, Lyft, on demand services even tech?
I would argue that they are not. They provide services that rely on technology and have been incredibly successful largely due to their embrace of technology, but I would describe Uber as on-demand transportation provider rather than a technology provider.
>Is Amazon only tech when it comes down to AWS and Alexa?
I understand calling Amazon a tech company because they have significant business lines as a technology provider, even if these do not constitute their entire business.
While I have intuitive responses to companies like these, I really don't know where the line is (e.g. how much business one would have to do as a tech provider). I didn't intend to suggest a hard definition but posed the question because I'm genuinely interested in seeing peoples' thoughts on what constitutes a tech company.
