Write short note on silicon valley …

Silicon Valley refers to the Santa Clara Valley in Northern California south of San Francisco where the tech industry is centered. It is about 25 miles long and 10 miles wide. The name refers not only to its geographical location in a valley, but also to one of its most famous and important products, the silicon transistor, which is what makes our computers operate. The history and success of Silicon Valley is due to three important factors: the influence of a strong university research community, funding from the department of defense, and a few pioneering venture capitalists willing to fund risky ideas in the name of innovation, helping Silicon Valley develop into the hub of technology and creativity.
