Russell Hancock about Silicon Valley 10-10-2011 at AIM event
Silicon Valley is a 1,500 square mile region encompassing 35 cities and 4 counties that is home to over 2.4 million people and 1.2 million workers. It has historically been a hotbed of innovation and entrepreneurship, generating waves of new technologies and industries since the 1940s and responsible for 6% of the US GDP and 11% of US patents. However, Silicon Valley's success is not due to innovation alone, but also a culture of entrepreneurship and a cluster effect where related industries, suppliers, and infrastructure coalesce to support new technologies. While bubbles and downturns are inevitable, Silicon Valley has proven resilient by continually reinventing itself with new innovations. It is now building new clusters in renewable energy

- 20. Bubbles aren’t allbad • Between 1846 and 1852 telegraph miles in the US rose from 2,000 to 23,000. Three lines covered New York and Boston, though there wasn’t enough traffic for one. But the spread of cheap telegraphy fostered other key innovations: Associated Press, national markets in stocks. • In 1894 the US had 192 railroads in bankruptcy (41,000 miles of track). But railroads served as crucial platform for new industries: Sears & Roeback

After the dot-combubble: • Prices plunged: servers, digital cameras, domain-name registration, web design, web hosting, office space • System in place for transmitting data, voice, documents; companies like Vonage and Skype move up. • Google prospered by lashing together thousands of cheap servers and tapping into an installed base of 172 million web surfers, and hiring redundant engineers
