Introduction Until the middle of the century‚ the region of Northern California we call Silicon Valley‚ was known as the Valley of Heart’s Delight. At that time it was better known for its apricots and walnuts than for its cutting-edge technology. The first time the term Silicon Valley was used‚ was in 1971 when a journalist wrote a couple of articles in Electronic News‚ a weekly electronic industry tabloid‚ about the semiconductor-industry around Palo Alto‚ California. Silicon Valley has since

The history of the microprocessor begins with the birth of the Intel 4004‚ the first commercially available microprocessor. The roots of this development can be traced directly back to the inventors of the transistor. In 1955‚ William Shockley founded Shockley Semiconductor in Palo Alto‚ California (arguably the birth of Silicon Valley). This company eventually employed Gordon Moore and Robert Noyce‚ who left with others to form Fairchild Semiconductor in 1957. While at Fairchild‚ Noyce played a
