【新概念4】【10】Silicon valley

每天坚持背诵默写两篇

The technology trends will push Silicon Valley back to the future,Carver Mead ,a pioneer in integrated circuits and a professor in(of) computer science at the California Institute of Technology,notes that there are now workstations that enable engineers to design,test and produce chips right on their desks,much the way an editor creates a newletter on a macintosh.As the time and cost to make a chip drops to a few days and a few hundred dollars,engineers may soon be free to let their imagination(imaginations) soar without being penalized by expensive failures.Mead predicts that inventors will be able to perfect powful customized chips over a weekend at the office–spawning (引起)a new generation of garage start-ups and giving the US a jump on its foreign rivals in getting new products in markets first(fast)."We’ve got more garages with smart people."Mead observes,“We really thrive on anarchy.”

And on Asians.Already,orientals and Asian Americans constitute a(the)majority of (the)engineering staffs at many valley firms.And Chinese,Korean,Filipino,and Indian engineers are graduating from California colleges.As the heads of next-genernation start-ups,these Asian innovators can draw on customs and languages to forge tighter links with Pacific Rim markets.For instance,Alex Au,a standford PH.D from Hong Kong ,has set up a Taiwan factory to challenge Japan’s near lock on the memorychip market.India-born Reddy’s tiny California company reopened an AT&T chip plant at the Kansas City last spring with financing from the state of Missouri.Before it becomes a retirement village,silicon valley may prove to be a classroom for (building)a global business.
