The Garage Revolution: Silicon Valley in the 1970s - What They Never Tell You
Tonight we travel back to a California valley filled with apricot orchards and prune farms, long before it became the tech capital of the world. This is the untold story of Silicon Valley's wild origins, when eight young engineers betrayed a Nobel Prize winner, when two college dropouts built computers in a garage, and when a single visit to a research lab changed computing forever.
Discover how the Traitorous Eight walked out on William Shockley and signed dollar bills as their only contract. Learn why Hewlett-Packard's garage became the official Birthplace of Silicon Valley. Follow the rise of Intel from a lawn-mowing conversation to the invention of the microprocessor. Experience the electric atmosphere of the Homebrew Computer Club where Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak first showed off their creation. And witness the legendary 1979 visit to Xerox PARC that made Steve Jobs jump around the room shouting about the future.
This documentary reveals the human drama behind the silicon: the friendships, the rivalries, the billion-dollar gambles, and the quiet decisions made in cramped laboratories that shaped the digital world you live in today.
Featuring: Fairchild Semiconductor, Intel Corporation, Apple Computer, Xerox PARC, HP Garage, Stanford University, Sand Hill Road venture capital, the counterculture connection, Moore's Law origins, the graphical user interface invention, and the transformation of Santa Clara Valley.
Perfect for falling asleep to calming narration about tech history, innovation stories, and American entrepreneurship.
