In 1994, there was still no Internet commerce to speak of. One day that spring, Jeffrey Bezos observed that Internet usage was increasing by 2,300 percent a year. He
saw
an
opportunity
for
a
new
circle
of commerce, and
immediately
began
considering
the possibilities.
Bezos founded Amazon. com in 1994, setting up the original company in his garage. The company was called Amazon for the seemingly endless South American river with its numberless branches. It started as an online bookstore but soon diversified (多样化) to all kinds of products. His work with Amazon eventually led him to become one of the most excellent dotcom entrepreneurs (企业家). He was named Time magazine's Person of the Year in 1999. In 2008, he was selected by U.S. News & World Report as one of America' s Best Leaders.Bezos' s Amazon has become “the Earth's biggest anything store”. Amazon. com is now called “one of the smartest strategies in business history”.
Today, Jeffrey Bezos lives north of Seattle and is increasingly concerned with charity (慈善) activities. “Giving away money takes as much attention as building a successful company,” he has said.
