Silicon Valley
"Silicon Valley "( also Silicon Valley, from the English Silicon Valley) is a huge area, on the territory of which there are a huge number of companies producing the latest computer technologies.
But there is another one the real Silicon Valley which is located in Northern California.
On the territory of the "silicon" high tech zone there are more than 20 largest enterprises with a world name, as well as thousands of firms and companies that produce Software and Hardware, as well as mobile phones and components, biotechnologies are being developed.
The zone was created thanks to the idea of scientists at Stanford University.
In the post war years, the university did not have enough funding, so the university management decided to lease the empty territories to successful companies that were engaged in technical developments.
Thus, the university has solved the problem with the employment of its graduates.
Some time later, such well known companies as Hewlett Packard, Intel, Apple Computer, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) settled here.
The name " Silicon Valley (Silicon Valley)" was introduced by the journalist Don Hofler in the 70s of the last century.
Back in the 40s of the XX century Stanford faced the problem of the outflow of graduates to other states.
In order to keep young researchers in California, special financial support programs were created for young people, and attempts were also made to create favorable conditions for conducting scientific research and doing business in the region.
The" key " person in this case was a professor at Stanford Frederick Terman.
He encouraged two of his strong students to try to start their own business without leaving Stanford.
The students were named William Hewitt and David Packard.
Today, their company Hewlett Packard Co. belongs to the giants of computer production.
It was Frederick Terman who first proposed to lease the university's land.
Stanford residents accepted the professor's idea with a bang, and soon after, the Stanford Research Center was formed on their territory.
Gradually, serious business structures began to take root and grow on the territory of this high tech incubator.
By the early 70s, there were already a large number of companies that researched semiconductors, computer technologies and programming.
The correct use of venture capital only contributed to the growth of production.
Along with the number of firms, the valley itself grew.
Now she owned the territories that are located on both sides of San Francisco.
The heart of the valley is the city of San Jose
In the 80s and 90s, the first millionaires began to appear in the valley.
Today, it is home to the largest number of rich people in the United States.
But Silicon Valley also has its own social problems.
In the foreground, of course, is the housing issue and the significant contrast between the income levels of the population.
Silicon Valley
There are many disputes and misconceptions about the names "Silicon Valley" and "Silicon Valley", the etymologically more correct translation of the English name Silicon Valley is "Silicon Valley", but "Silicon Valley" is more common.
