REGIONAL ADVANTAGE: CUL'ITIRE AND COMPETITION IN SILICON VALLEY AND ROUTE 128
- Share to:
Similar battles of change have been fought before as new technology insinuated itself into peoples' lives, from basic labor-saving devices such as the washing machine, to innovations with radical cultural consequences like the automGbfle. We take almost for granted the inexorable march of progress toward these seemingly indispensable, ubiquitous tools, not stopping to remember that they replaced other tools and that those other tools had industries supporting them. Sometimes, older firms adapt to the new world and remain competitive, but the trip to popular acceptance for new technology items is littered with ghost towns that the highway used to pass and corporate carcasses, firms run off the road when the entrepreneur's shiny new model roared by.
