In the last chapter we were introduced to Silicon Valley in 1951. I thought it would be helpful to know the history of the Valley. It begun with the fruit business and end up spreading the new invented semiconductors all over the States. In addition it mentions the father of the Silicon Valley. It was Frederick Terman, who inspired some of his students to change the system of just getting a job on creating a new job, where people wouldn't have a boss at all.The modern mind set of young entrepreneurs comes from his ideology and people still have it. Another thing was first electrical computer ENIAC, which was greatly build and helped to advertise California as the best place to go for the young generation.
