Was this always the case, or is this the face of 21st century? I used to see so many Mom-And-Pop shops that are now being replaced by the bigger power seeking companies.

If this is the way we are heading, then I am kinda scared and feel like the only way for me to not be in the chopping block is to join them.

21st century. I highly recommend the book "The Psychology of Innovation in Organizations"

I help a lot of mom'n'pop type shops introduce innovations into their operations. Most places just need a solid online presence with a proper SEO strategy. Others need unique solutions that are foreign to their industries.
