Recipe For The Next Silicon Valley

Culture

from the not-so-easy dept

Mon, Feb 4th 2002 10:03am — Mike Masnick
Wired has an article about how to create a new Silicon Valley where they talk to the author of Cloning Silicon Valley to figure out what ingredients go into a Silicon Valley recipe. I have some problems with the idea of recreating a Silicon Valley, because it always seems to involve too much direction from above - and not enough of just letting things evolve. I'd say that most places today that are trying to recreate Silicon Valley may miss the next big thing, because it won't seem to fit in with what they think a Silicon Valley should focus on.

    They have a long way to go.

    There seems to be a perception the SV. has just sprung up in the last 10 years. This is not so. In reality it has been going in one form or another since the 1960's (to my knowlege). Basically, each "generation" has built on the foundation of the previous one. SV was not built - it evolved.
