DESCRIPTION:Why did Silicon Valley come into being? IEEE Life Fellow Paul W
 esling fascinatingly pulls together tech\, financial\, and social factors 
 that mixed together to produce it:\n\n- local Hams (amateur radio operator
 s) trying to break RCA's tube patents\;\n- Stanford “angel” investors\
 ;\n- the sinking of the Titanic\;\n- Fred Terman and Stanford University\;
 \n- local invention of high-power tubes (gammatron\, klystron)\;\n- WW II 
 and radar\;\n- William Shockley's mother residence in Palo Alto\; and\n- t
 he development of a supportive SF Bay Area infrastructure.\n\nThese factor
 s mixed together placed the semiconductor and IC industries into the Santa
  Clara Valley\, and the infrastructure development helps to keep it there 
 as new technologies emerged.\n\nStill… worldwide\, similar factors can b
 e placed to promote local innovation. Dr. Bob Lucky will present a story o
 f one attempt to replicate this\, and what would still be needed to replic
 ate this today – reenergizing the Monmouth/Ocean area\, and the rest of 
 NJ\, as a leader in tech innovation. (After all\, the FIRST Menlo Park was
  in NJ\, not CA!)\n\nSpeaker(s): Paul Wesling\, MS\, IEEE Life Fellow\, Dr
 . Bob Lucky\, Ph.D.\, IEEE Fellow\n\nAgenda: \n6:00 PM - Free Pizza and dr
