How CA’s Silicon Valley Passed MA’s Route 128
If you’re interested in a bit of tech history, TechCrunch has the story for you. If you were in the tech biz in the 60’s through the 80’s, then this might be a bit of nostalgia. For the rest of us, I found it to be an interesting bit on how Silicon Valley surpassed Route 128, eventually supplanting it as the place to be in the tech world.
Ever heard of Route 128? To my surprise, neither have any of my students at Duke or the entrepreneurs I’ve met in Silicon Valley. I’m surprised because it wasn’t so long ago that Silicon Valley was considered a poor cousin of Boston’s tech center—a cluster of technology companies located along this freeway which partially rings the city.
