    Silicon Valley

    Uploaded by

    Jurek Oberhauser
    Silicon Valley is located in California south-east of San Francisco, home to over 2 million people centered around Sunnyvale. Stanford University helped launch the region's technology industry in 1891 by establishing a program encouraging computer company startups near campus. William Hewlett and David Packard founded the first company, HP, in 1938. Over the decades, major tech companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Facebook have established presences in Silicon Valley, driving an exchange valued at $250-300 billion annually among the top 150 companies based there. However, the region's success has led to problems with traffic, pollution, population growth, and electricity infrastructure.
