Silicon Valley inside the dream incubator

National Geographic Dec.2001 by Cathy Newman

According to Newman Silicon Valley is not an official geography but it is a 1,500 mile piece of northern California, a mecca of technology. There are lots of high tech companies there, such as Intel, CISCO, APPLE, HEWLET-PACKARD etc. and many people who believe they have developed technology for making human's life easier. Silicon valley is the perfect mecca of technology. Many companies there secure huge human resources, people who were educated from Stanford and Berkeley. Also, many investors invest there. These high tech companies have already invented lots of useful products and wireless networks. However they are never satisfied with their work. They want to invent better and faster and easier and smarter things. In addition, Silicon Valley's people are always open for business. They always crave to find new and creative ideas and they finally make dreams come true. They call that mind techno-optimism. That coupled with their openness to conduct business create ample opportunity. That kind of mind-set makes Silicon Valley still the top address for geniuses and entrepreneurs in the online universe.

  1. Very interesting indeed the Silicon Valley phenomenon. I remember when computers were first becoming popular in the eighties and how much I detested them! Now I hardly go anywhere without my laptop and my cell phone is glued to me at all times. I am grateful for these inventions but hope that people won't become too addicted to this technology (including me!)
