Lesson 10 Silicon valley
First listen and then answer the following question.
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.
