How much does an average Googler know about
the history of the place
he works in? Silicon Valley.
Come and test your knowledge. I have seen
this talk and I assure you -
even seasoned Silicon Valley
veterans will find this story interesting.
Silicon Valley entrepreneur
Steve Blank will talk about how
World War II set the stage for the creation
and explosive growth of
Silicon Valley, and the role of
Frederick Terman and Stanford in working with
government agencies
(including the CIA and the
National Security Agency) to set up companies
in this area that
sparked the creation of hundreds
of other enterprises.
