Silicon Valley Area |
|
The term "Silicon Valley" is known throughout the world. Most people who have heard it know that it refers to a business region densely populated with "high tech" companies. "Silicon Valley" describes the region in Northern California that almost overnight spawned a myriad of companies based on computers, electronics components, software, research, venture capital and all aspects of the technology industry's infrastructure. The actual term "Silicon Valley" owes its popularization to the late Don Hoefier, a city of Santa Clara engineer and editor of Microelectronics News, who began using the insider's phrase in trade journal articles in 1971.
