Lesson 10-1 Silicon valley
Technology trendsmay push Silicon Valley back to the future. Carver Mead, a pioneer inintegrated circuits and a professor of computer science at the CaliforniaInstitute of Technology, notes there are now work-stations that enableengineers to design, test and produce chips right on their desks, much the wayan editor creates a newsletter on a Macintosh. As the time and cost of making achip drop to a few days and a few hundred dollars, engineers may soon be freeto let their imaginations soar without being penalized by expensive failures.Mead predicts that inventors will be able to perfect powerful customized chipsover a weekend at the office -- spawning a new generation of garage start-upsand giving the U.S. a jump on its foreign rivals in getting new products tomarket fast. 'We've got more garages with smart people,' Mead observes. 'Wereally thrive on anarchy.'
