Amazon refers primarily to two distinct concepts:
1. **Amazon (Company)**: Amazon is a multinational technology company based in Seattle, Washington, best known for its e-commerce platform, which allows individuals and businesses to buy and sell products online. Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, it has grown to become one of the largest online retailers in the world. In addition to e-commerce, Amazon operates in various sectors, including cloud computing (Amazon Web Services), digital streaming (Amazon Prime Video), and artificial intelligence (Alexa). The company has also expanded into physical retail with the acquisition of Whole Foods and the launch of Amazon Go stores.
2. **Amazon (River)**: The Amazon River is the second-longest river in the world, flowing through South America. It is renowned for its vast size and the biodiversity of the rainforest surrounding it, which is known as the Amazon Rainforest. This river is an essential waterway for transportation and supports a wide range of ecosystems, wildlife, and indigenous cultures.
Both meanings encapsulate significant aspects of global commerce and environmental importance, respectively.
