Has Silicon Valley Lost Its Edge? VC $12bn in 2010 down 50% to 2008
Facebook Isn’t Such a Great Sign of American Innovation After All
o Certainly, the U.S. lost electronics manufacturing to Asia beginning in the 1980s
o Next information technology services shifted to India
o Today, in new markets such as green technology, Asia is unfolding as the center.
o Today, the R&D and design work that goes into electronics manufacturing is also moving elsewhere
o There is a close tie between the design and manufacturing of products
o The U.S. also needs to decide if it’s open for business and willing to compete globally for factories and jobs
Meanwhile, Silicon Valley itself needs to change, focusing on industries of the future, such as renewable energy, that will produce more jobs. It needs less companies like Facebook, which offer leisure-time activities, and more attention to such things as alternatives to oil
