Silicon Valley's Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center And Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story By Lee Foster Author’s Note: This article “Silicon Valley’s Hi-Tech Heritage: Apple Park Visitor Center and Three Great Museums Tell the Computer and Technology Story” is a chapter in my new book/ebook Northern California History Travel Adventures: 35 Suggested Trips. The subject is also covered in my book/ebook Northern California Travel: The Best Options. That book is available in English as a book/ebook and also as an ebook in Chinese. Several of my books on California can be seen on my Amazon Author Page. In Brief In California’s Silicon Valley, you can learn about the computer and technology revolution that is affecting the world today. For instance, the story comes alive at the new Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino. In addition you can visit three great museums located, appropriately, in this Northern California epicenter of innovation. These high-tech revolutions have altered the face of San Jose and the Silicon Valley. You find the area, which is 30-50 miles south of San Francisco. It stretches along the western and southern edge of San Francisco Bay. My Osborne Computer, 1980, a copy of which can be seen at the Computer History Museum Originally a bucolic ranching region, San Jose began as a small pueblo and Spanish mission in the 18th century. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the valley developed as one of the most important fruit-growing areas in the United States. Growers shipped apples, plums, apricots, peaches, and cherries all over the country. Later, Steve Jobs of Apple remembered fondly the orchards of his youth. High-Tech Introduced At the end of World War II, a new direction emerged. Electronics and other high- technology industries began to appear. And, with it, San Jose grew. The area is now the 10th largest metropolitan region in the U.S. San Jose is the capital of Santa Clara County. It also has one of the highest per capita incomes in the country. Entrepreneurs create computers, chips, software, and other high-tech products. The main design and manufacturing efforts are geared for both civilian and military use. David Laws, the Silicon Valley travel expert, shows on an iPad an “augmented reality” portrait of the interior of the model of the new Apple “spaceship” headquarters immediately across the street from the new Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino, CA. Many consumers would like to learn more about this technology story. However, opportunities are limited because the companies are inherently secretive. Nevertheless, Apple Park Visitor Center and three great museums let you encounter this modern technical history. First, you begin your day of exploring by starting at the Apple Park Visitor Center in Cupertino. Then you venture on to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. From there, you visit the Intel Museum in Santa Clara. Finally, you take in The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. You might break up the day with lunch at one of the ethnic restaurants on Castro Street in Mountain View. They are located near the Computer History Museum. I stopped by restaurant Ephesus for a Greek Salad enhanced by gyro meat. Apple Park Visitor Center Apple Park Visitor Center is an unusual, one-of-a-kind corporate welcome center. Fans of Apple and computers in general will especially appreciate two aspects. First, it is across the street from the new Apple “spaceship” world headquarters. The circular, glass structure houses 12,000 employees who are thinking up the future of Apple. From the upstairs outdoor rooftop terrace at the Visitor Center, you gaze across the street at a small part of the actual building. Second, you can “see” inside the “spaceship” structure in an unusual way. On the north side of the Visitor Center is a large display room. It contains a model of the circular headquarters. With provided iPads, you can take an “augmented reality” look inside the building. You can swipe the roof off and see the cubicles. Furthermore, you can zoom in on the Health and Wellness Center where Apple employees unwind. Spaceship-Looking By many standards, the new Apple headquarters is one of the remarkable architectural structures of our era. It was designed by Norman Foster. First, it is large. The construction is said to be the largest office building in the world. In fact, it is bigger than the Pentagon. It’s slim and round and goes on and on. Furthermore it maintains an orchard and forest of 9,000 trees within and outside it. Second, it is a remarkably energy-efficient building. The edifice is said to be fully powered by its own solar roof panels. Moreover, energy demand is kept minimal by a sophisticated system of hillside berms. These berms contain portals that draw air in and cool it with underground water. Thus, the system provides an appropriate air- con for the structure. In the quest for “green” corporate architecture, this Apple “spaceship” surely will be one of the milestones. Elegant Design The Apple Park Visitor Center building itself is an elegant model of design. It looks like the box in which a buyer gets an iPhone. It’s minimalist, clean, open to the outdoors. The building is a study of simplicity. Olive trees, symbols of peace, reflect an exterior plant decor favored by Steve Jobs. The building has four above-ground components. The second-floor deck offers a limited view of a small portion of the “spaceship” across the street. The “augmented reality” display model area is on the first floor. There is also a cafe serving coffee and pastries. Naturally you can visit a store featuring Apple products. In this Apple store, however, nothing is locked down for security. You are invited to pick up an iPhone or iPad. On the spot you can use it and “airdrop” any visual results to yourself. And no purchase is needed. Apple is also all about the “future of retail.” So this is a subtle selling site without a cash register. Apple Stores Many consumers are shocked on their first visit to any of the 500+ Apple stores worldwide. The Visitor Center is said to be #498. Here you will find no cash registers. Likewise You will see no paper consumables when there are transactions. Not everyone is pleased with a visit to the Apple Park Visitor Center. While you can get close to the Apple “aura” from the second floor deck, you are not actually in the “spaceship.”To some, just gazing out at a small portion of the “spaceship” will be a thrill. After all, you are near one of the most innovative and successful corporate entities of our time. However, for those who view Apple idolatry as precious, the experience will be a tease. You are adjacent to it in a retail store. For some, virtual is not enough. Apple Park Visitor Center is at 10600 N. Tantau Ave., Cupertino, CA 95014; 408/961-1560; https://www.apple.com/retail/appleparkvisitorcenter/?cid=aos-us-seo- maps The Computer History Museum The Computer History Museum features a major exhibit on “software creation.” The exhibit complements the earlier landmark display on “computer hardware.” Both components are critical to comprehending the computer revolution altering our lives. The new exhibit is called “Make Software: Change the World.” It explores the history, impact, and technology behind seven game-changing applications. Among the featured softwares are MP3 for music distribution and PhotoShop for digital manipulation and animated movies. Also shown are MRI for health analysis and Car Crash Simulation to show the effect on an actual crash without the crash. In addition,the show covers Texting as a means of communication. Finally, the exhibit explains Wikipedia as a vision of knowledge sharing. Author Lee Foster sits in a Google self-driving car, a triumph of software innovation, at the Computer History Museum in California’s Silicon Valley. Understanding Software Each visitor will react differently to these software applications. It will depend on their special interest. Collectively, the applications profoundly influence everyone. For instance, one software display is portrayed metaphorically. You see it as the sheet music that makes the grand piano “hardware” of computer systems come alive. Another aspect of the current software revolution is the autonomous self-driving car. Here, you can sit in an actual Google self-driving car. It is surprising how simplified the interior appears. This new emphasis on “software” provides a complement to another exhibit on “hardware.” That exhibit is called “Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing.” Large Collection of Computers The Computer History Museum houses the largest international collection of computing artifacts in the world. Obviously the repository includes computer hardware and software documentation. But it also contains ephemera, photographs, and oral histories relating to the science. The museum even offers moving images. The visitor will find a number of surprising historical details. For instance, you will learn how they invented the abacus for calculation. The museum brings computer history to life through its large-scale exhibits. Furthermore it offers a dynamic website, and docent-led tours. Computer geek or not, visitors will be fascinated by software or hardware details. For example, the IBM 1401 Demo Lab explains one of the most popular computers of all time. The Computer History Museum is at 1401 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View, CA 94303; 650-810-1010; http://www.computerhistory.org/. The Tech Museum The Tech Museum presents a broad interpretation of technological innovations. For instance, this museum celebrates inventiveness. It showcases inventiveness in several technical fields with more than 200 “minds on” exhibits.

  • When Is a Microprocessor Not a Microprocessor? the Industrial Construction of Semiconductor Innovation I
    Ross Bassett When is a Microprocessor not a Microprocessor? The Industrial Construction of Semiconductor Innovation I In the early 1990s an integrated circuit first made in 1969 and thus ante­ dating by two years the chip typically seen as the first microprocessor (Intel's 4004), became a microprocessor for the first time. The stimulus for this piece ofindustrial alchemy was a patent fight. A microprocessor patent had been issued to Texas Instruments, and companies faced with patent infringement lawsuits were looking for prior art with which to challenge it. 2 This old integrated circuit, but new microprocessor, was the ALl, designed by Lee Boysel and used in computers built by his start-up, Four-Phase Systems, established in 1968. In its 1990s reincarnation a demonstration system was built showing that the ALI could have oper­ ated according to the classic microprocessor model, with ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), and I/O (Input/ Output) forming a basic computer. The operative words here are could have, for it was never used in that configuration during its normal life­ time. Instead it was used as one-third of a 24-bit CPU (Central Processing Unit) for a series ofcomputers built by Four-Phase.3 Examining the ALl through the lenses of the history of technology and business history puts Intel's microprocessor work into a different per­ spective. The differences between Four-Phase's and Intel's work were industrially constructed; they owed much to the different industries each saw itselfin.4 While putting a substantial part ofa central processing unit on a chip was not a discrete invention for Four-Phase or the computer industry, it was in the semiconductor industry.

  • Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder
    Silicon Shores Corporation Company Backgrounder Company Overview Headquartered in Mountain View, CA Silicon Shores Corporation is the company overseeing operations of the Shoreline Lake Boathouse and American Bistro at the Shoreline Lake Recreational Area and Wildlife Sanctuary. Silicon Shores manages the facilities through a leasing arrangement with the City of Mountain View, which owns the Shoreline Lake park area. This private company, established in 2000, is incorporated in California. Christina Ferrari is the owner and President and entered into the relationship with the City in 2000. Given the origins of Shoreline Lake, the City of Mountain View’s transformation of 544 acres of junkyard, hog farm, two substandard dumps, low lying flood plains, and a sewage treatment plant into a nature preserve was quite an undertaking. Partnering with Silicon Shores ensured that the area can provide the services and amenities that the surrounding urban population and visitors would appreciate finding within a nature preserve. Vision & Mission The company’s goal for the Shoreline Lake area is to create an experience unmatched within Silicon Valley for residents and workers of the South Bay, and beyond. The centerpiece of the Park, Shoreline Lake is a man- made, 50-acre, salt water lake filled by waters pumped in from the San Francisco Bay that circulate back out into Permanente Creek. However, a densely populated, heavily-developed area surrounds the Park, which includes many well-known hi-tech firms (e.g., Google headquarters is right next door). Even so, Shoreline Lake, a safe and expansive waterway for many water sports, is also a wildlife sanctuary and home to many rare, migratory birds, such as the burrowing owl.
