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.'

感悟：今天这篇文章特别难读，读起来非常拗口，所以录了四五遍才勉强达标，而且达标的这一遍也是结结巴巴的，但是时间上达标了，也就放水过了，毕竟如果一直逼得太紧，那就没兴趣读下去了，还是这样，每天都能勉强完成任务，但是又不会特别辛苦，才是持久读下去的王道。
