Greetings. I was hoping someone might be able to point me to a good
source of information on a brief history of Silicon Valley, and
some current statistics (how many high-tech companies and jobs).
There was a book out just in the last year or two called "Fire in thesource of information on a brief history of Silicon Valley, and
some current statistics (how many high-tech companies and jobs).
Valley" about that very topic. Sorry, don't recall the author, but it
was avalable in all the big bookstore chains.
I used to live up there, in the days when the apricot orchards were
giving way to...er, Apple orchards ;-) It used to be a nice place to
live.
From what I understand, the shine is rubbing off. The cost of housing is
ludicrous, and companies are fleeing to places like Arizona. But you
still can't throw a silicon wafer in Cupertino without hitting an Apple
facility.
