I have watched it transformed from the innovative edge of American industry to an engine of global growth. Around 1975, I began interviewing chief executive officers of technology-based firms and the workers building the chips and electronic devices that were the Valley’s mainstay. In those days, we were still in the modern industrial age—Silicon Valley firms were focusing on hardware and manufacturing. Yet the essence of high-tech work was not very different than it is today. People changed jobs often and looked for start-ups where they could get a piece of the company. The eighty-hour work culture was in place, but it was not as ubiquitous as it is now. Fortunes were made, but not nearly as rapidly as they are today. The new gold rush was just beginning, and each decade has brought success on an ever greater scale. In 1984, I ran for the U.S. Congress in California’s 12th District against Ed Zschau, a high-tech entrepreneur and a popular incumbent. The primary issue in that campaign was not whether high technology, but how it was affecting life in the Valley. Zsachau argued that the new economy would not only leave everyone better off economically but would generate minimal social costs. My campaign emphasized the need for well-organized public interventions in transportation, schooling, family services, and job networking and training. Zschau won, but judging by the Valley’s traffic jams, stressed families, and struggling schools sixteen years later, I had the right idea.
