DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nSilicon Valley is commonly acknowledged as the tec
 h capital of the world. How did Silicon Valley come into being\, and what 
 can we learn? The story goes back to local Hams trying to break RCA's tube
  patents\, Stanford "angel" investors\, the sinking of the Titanic\, WW II
  and radar\, and the SF Bay Area infrastructure that developed – these f
 actors pretty much determined that the semiconductor and IC industries wou
 ld be located in the Santa Clara Valley\, and that the Valley would remain
  the world’s innovation center as new technologies emerge\, and be the m
 odel for innovation worldwide.\n\nThis talk will give an exciting and colo
 rful history of development and innovation that began in Palo Alto in 1909
 . You'll meet some of the colorful characters – Cyril Elwell\, Lee De Fo
 rest\, Bill Eitel\, Charles Litton\, Fred Terman\, David Packard\, Bill He
 wlett\, Bill Shockley and others – who came to define our worldwide elec
 tronics industries through their inventions and process development. You'l
 l understand some of the novel management approaches that have become the 
 hallmarks of its tech startups. Many of these attributes can be found in o
 ther technology hubs\; however\, the SF Bay Area has five generations of e
 xperience\, as well as a "critical mass" of talent\, making it difficult f
 or others to catch up. In this talk\, the key attributes will be illustrat
 ed and analyzed\, for consideration by other tech hubs\, such as Central I
 ndiana\, and for entrepreneurs interested in creating their own start-ups 
 or understanding them.\n\nSpeaker(s): Paul Wesling\, \n\nRoom: BRK 1001\,
