What does the computer indus-try thrive on apart from anarchy? Technology trends may push Silicon Valley back to the future. Carver Mead, a pioneer in integrated circuits and a professor of computer science at the California Institute of Technology, notes there are now work-stations that enable eng-ineers to design, test and produce chips right on their desks, much the way an editor creates a newsletter on a Macintosh. As the time and cost of making a chip drop to a few days and a few hund-red dollars, engineers may soon be free to let their imaginations soar without being penalized by expensive failures. Mead predicts that inventorswill be able to perfect powerful customized chips over a weekend at the office- spawning a new p\genera-tion of garage start-ups and giving the U.S. a jump on its foreign rivals in getting new products to market fast. 'We' ve got mort garages with smart people,' Mead observes.'We really thr-ive on anarchy.'And on Asians. Already,orien-tals and Asian Americans constitute the majorityof the engine-ering staffs at many Valley firms. And Chinese, Korean, Filipino and Indian engineersare graduating in droves from California's colleges. As the heads of next-generation start-ups, these Asian in-novators can draw on customs and languages to forge tighter links with crucial Pac-ific Rim markets.For instance, Alex Au, a Stanford Ph.D. from Hong Kong, has set up a Taiwan factory to challenge Japan's near lock on the memory-chip market. India-born N. Damodar Reddy's tiny California company reopened an AT&T chip plant in Kansas City last spri-ng with financing from the state of Missouri. Before it becomes a retir-ement village, Silicon Valley may prove a classroom for building a global business.
