You say at 00:17 that "San Juan" was the region's largest city? Did you mean "San Jose"?

[carolietashukry]

It’s San Jose not San Juan, Sunnyvale not Sunny valley, Cupertino not Co Opertino

[azukaabrahamnduka]

Great insight into the Digital giant called silicon valley headquarters of global technology industry

[allisonraines]

The largest city is SAN JOSE.
Not San Juan. It's a city of about a million people, named correctly on the map illustration.

Please don't go to San Juan if you want to visit Silicon Valley, California.

You'll end up in Puerto Rico.

This video has a few errors, including a misspelling of "Silicon" in the thumbnail illustration.

[hammerheadduck]

They call it Silicon Valley cause you can find silicon cases in apples headquarters 🙄 jk

Was this a school project? It’s like the professor said “say something about immigration in your project” so it got shoe-horned in.

Hey @PastToFuture I have to write an essay about the development and significance of the Silicon Valley. Do you might know some helpful books or references?

High technology may be here but all over America there high tech people with brilliant minds in every state every state should have their own high tech firms not just here .

[lonewolfcoding]

usa runs out of semiconductor from taiwan but the original inovation is here in america? 🤔

[macadamianutball]

[davidbarnes]

Uh... I kinda like it but it's obvious, like badly obvious you're not really familiar with the area.
