Not 100% sure since i don’t live in so cal but i am pretty sure la and most of the la county is ran by democrats. So both parts are democratic.

icwiz or "a CPU consists of many "gajillion" transistors". They didn't even have to mention CPUs. In the end, the importance was that transistors enabled much smaller, faster and more efficient computers. That was the main point.
My father was part of the first big wave of electrical engineers moving into Silicon Valley in the 1950's - working at Sylvania and Fairchild Semi. He explained that one of the reasons why Silicon Valley was able to succeed so much was because the people weren't stuck with the social strictures of life on the east coast - going to church on Sunday, having to go to Grandmas for supper, etc. They could do whatever they damn well pleased, and it allowed them to think outside the box.
It was the Geography and Natural Beauty/ Natural Environment, Ocean, Mountains, Bay, Redwood Forests, Lakes, Tahoe, Sunshine, Low Humidity, Wineries, Every kind of Geography from cool to hot, desert to Sea, etc. etc. etc. lots of diversity, within very short distances, that made Silicon Valley what it is - more than anything.

That's why some family work paycheck to paycheck because the cost of living is really expensive here in Silicon Valley especially here in San Jose CA.. (shoutout to the people who live here in San Jose)
Growing up when this is all going down, it made it eventually impossible for a college student to live in the bay area just because there was an influx of engineers and high skilled workers taking up the mantle; therefore causing a huge spike in living costs in the area
I lived in the South Bay from 1962 until 2015. In those early days, it was utopia with small towns separated by open fields and fruit/nut orchards that two-lane roads ran through to connect the towns. Suburbs started sprawling with new middle-class homes, but I could ride my bicycle into the undeveloped Santa Cruz Mountains often without seeing anyone driving a car for an hour or two. It was laid-back and hip! The Bay Area was the perfect place for Hippies to originate, in the sense that it still had a pastoral character with a sense of community. My town, Los Gatos, was a charming sleepy hollow of retirees, widows and Old Town style. Then, in the '70's, all hell broke loose! High tech business buildings suddenly sprang up like mushrooms everywhere! I went from hippie to Silicon Valley engineer within a few years! It was a wild ride, and I met a lot of interesting people along the way, including many entrepreneurs & a guy who'd worked directly with Hewlett & Packard when they were just five people! I watched SV develop from the inside. It was start-up after start-up! Now retired, I'm glad to be missing the most frantic & expensive times, living in the Sierra-Nevada on the cheap! But I got the experience of watching history unfold in Silicon Valley's best days, including those before they paved Paradise!
California is known for having terrible internet because of the terrain! I lived in Los Angeles and for the longest time the fastest speeds we could get was about 6mb down and 1 up. Just recently have we gotten into the double digits and we are no where near gigabyte speeds.
I've done a great deal of research on the region in the hopes to recreate it in my country. I am pleased to see that the majority of what's in this video I already know. Silicon Valley! You left out persons like Frederick Terman who was instrumental in laying the foundations for a lot of these companies to exists, for e.g. the founders of HP were his students and he encouraged them to start a company and provided prospective customers for their oscillators such as Walt Disney Studios. You have a new subscriber.
True. I was coming here to comment on Frederick Emmons Terman (the main engineering building was named after him while I was there), and cannot agree more. I was at Stanford decades ago, and one of my great professors let me know that Terman was the real creator that made Stanford Engineering what it was, including helping H+P do what they did. Stanford Engineering was the technology source here. The venture capital financing that followed is now comparably important in making this the most powerful economic engine the world has ever seen. What country are you from?
3:22 It shows Microsoft as being founded in silicon valley. It wasn't. It was founded in Albuquerque NM, and now its headquarters are in Redmond, WA. Microsoft does have a satellite campus in San Jose, but Microsoft has never been based there.
Joaftheloaf Microsoft Technology Center has been in Mountain View for 15 years. They are going to expand their current 515,000 square foot campus by an additional 128,000 square feet.
Joafie I was thinking the same thing. I remember visiting Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Wa back in '98. They let you know their history and they didn't mention anything about starting up in silicon valley.
He never said it was founded in Silicon Valley. That’s just the location of the corporate office in San Jose. Anyone with a brain would at least google it before making that assumption
Panzer Faust tech industries don't need a lot of employees and automatization will leave more people unemployed. If less people are employed, who is going yo buy all of your new shit?
When I was born here in 1960, there were plenty of dairies, farms and orchards. You saw cows and barbed wire on the sides of 101 in Sunnyvale and Santa Clara traveling between San Jose and Mountain View in the early 1970s. Almaden still had lots of vineyards. Fremont had a nationally-famous drag strip AND a glider port (great lift off Mission Peak). Now it's all filled in, Much of the local wildlife is gone (where I once heard and saw song birds, now I mainly only see crows, and no fields means no burrowing owls) and many hard-working people can no longer afford a home here anymore. This is progress?
Yeah, I remember seeing cows milked in a little barn off Arastradero Road back around 1960 or so, just west of where Foothill Expressway is now. Grew up on acre of apricots, across the street from where Tesla's HQ is now.
San Jose is amazing but It’s annoying how often we have real estate brokers coming to our doors asking if we want to sell our homes, my family was offered a rough 1.9 mil for a measly 3 bedroom home that isn’t in the best neighborhood

"The transistor is now known as the computer processor" Actually, the computer processor is made up of millions to billions of transistors. Transistors are still in use with many everyday electrical appliances. This statement is false because not all electrical appliances contain computer processors. Image it like this. A kids toy probably contains a transistor. The kids toy does not contain a computer processor.
silicon valley ruined the bay area for people who are average Joe's not involved in the tech industry or construction. Rent and the prices of homes has spiked ridiculously high non stop for the past 5 years, most of the people i know were forced to move out to the valley, citys like tracy, lathrop, modesto & stockton. they are forced to make that long commute every day because they can't afford a 2 bedroom apartment thats almost 4000 a month. Ridiculous!
the neighbors I had, most of their families had been in those homes for generations, now all these new people moving in are buying them all out of their homes, the sense of community is gone.
My parents moved to Mountain View in 1960 i was 5.... it was a great place to grow up back then,,,, lots of open land and deserted building to play in.... now it's another world,, i moved out in 2005.
There is only one thing missing here and that is any mention of UC Berkeley and the role it's played alongside Stanford in making Silicon Valley the global hub of the tech industry and a premier breeding ground for entrepreneurs, which in turn has drawn venture capitalists who are willing to invest in startups.
This video neglects to mention many of the most important players in the founding of Silicon Valley, such as IBM who opened a San Jose Laboratory in 1943 becoming the West Coast Headquarters of IBM. Of course they went on to develop the hard disk drive and RAMAC pioneering storage and later memory technologies, laser, and thousands of other processes and technologies (including the relational database concept stolen by Larry Ellison).
@@jim7771 You know that California has a much smaller population than the UK, right? Smaller population and roughly the same size of economy, do the math.

HP started the growth of my city as well Roseville California when they opened a Business Park in the Farmlands of West Roseville in the 1980s. That area has been roaring ever since.
I rode my bicycle down Pruneridge avenue when it was surrounded by orchards. Now I live 1,247 miles away because the damn techies destroyed the place. I am never going back.
Abraham Mc I pity you. So much aggression and anger built up inside you from living and competing for everything. It took me 40 years to realise it and only after taking 3 years to hike the triple crown. 22 states I hiked and Wyoming blew my mind. Still love the Sierra. California is a very beautiful place. But the only thing missing from Wyoming is the Pacific ocean and 38,000,000 people all trying to do the same thing on a Saturday. Peace brother. If you love California enough to overlook or deal with it's issues then you are a better man than me. Cheers.
The US wouldn't, if a sizeable dirty bomb landed in Silicon Valley you could take out most of the US economy in a single hit. Not only would trillions on dollars worth of businesses and assets would be wiped out in the blink of an eye, the winds would naturally blow fallout into the California aquaduct poisoning the water supply for all of southern California and California's agribusiness which accounts for up to 30% of the US' agricultural productivity.

In what respect? Their average incomes are lower, their GDP per capita is low, their average net worth is lower, in what way are they?
James Newstead California's gdp per capita is bigger than the UK's tho.
@@jim7771 You know that California has a much smaller population than the UK, right? Smaller population and roughly the same size of economy, do the math.
@@BadassBikerOwns I wasn't talking about Cali, I was talking about India.
Brexit is damaging the UK’s economy
Now just 3 companies make it 3trillion dollar economy
Why is NASA in Silicon Valley?... That looks weird...
Hue Lu Because Lockheed Martin is in Sunnyvale, next to Moffett Field
I love the subtle nod to Microsoft's "borrowing" of Xerox's GUI. ;) Very well placed!
"Good morning, Bill"
Xerox didn't know what they had till MS acquired it!
Lol they bought it fair and square. Even apple did. Xerox were dumb.

Hewlett-Packard simply started Silicon Valley.
HP started the growth of my city as well Roseville California when they opened a Business Park in the Farmlands of West Roseville in the 1980s. That area has been roaring ever since.
You know your in Silicon Valley when everyone has an iPhone, reddit account, Netflix, works for uber and has a EA account
Fuck that EA shit. They are not worth it.
No Apple products, never use Reddit, Netflix sucks, I do use Uber, EA is irrelevant.
KarmaIsBomb I live in Spain and have four of the five
@@ImNotADeeJay American tech taking over then lol. Btw, what has Spain produced recently?
@@darklight38 We produce plenty of corrupt politicians. But even in that, the US is way ahead.
Impressive!
Silicon Valley represent
I didn't realise HP was so old!
I rode my bicycle down Pruneridge avenue when it was surrounded by orchards.
Now I live 1,247 miles away because the damn techies destroyed the place.
I am never going back.
by that you mean you are a poor fuck
Abraham Mc rather be poor and sane than a rich jerk.
sorry cows dont count as people
Abraham Mc I pity you. So much aggression and anger built up inside you from living and competing for everything.
It took me 40 years to realise it and only after taking 3 years to hike the triple crown.
22 states I hiked and Wyoming blew my mind.
Still love the Sierra.
California is a very beautiful place.
But the only thing missing from Wyoming is the Pacific ocean and 38,000,000 people all trying to do the same thing on a Saturday.
Peace brother.
If you love California enough to overlook or deal with it's issues then you are a better man than me.
Cheers.
How could I have chance to visit there?
SOU SAMNANG ✈✈✈
If you have alot of money..lots of it..even lots of it your still end up broke..so bring lots of it...lol get my point!
maybe if a nuclear missile blows that Valley , societies will have some peace of mind, ( take a break from Internet)
you're sick in the head
keep that to yourselves and do that to your own society. stop imposing your beliefs upon others.
The US wouldn't, if a sizeable dirty bomb landed in Silicon Valley you could take out most of the US economy in a single hit. Not only would trillions on dollars worth of businesses and assets would be wiped out in the blink of an eye, the winds would naturally blow fallout into the California aquaduct poisoning the water supply for all of southern California and California's agribusiness which accounts for up to 30% of the US' agricultural productivity.
I am very proud of growing upon the bay area because of all the tech complains since I am a tech nerd
