The Path of Our Lives
For almost half a century I’ve lived and worked in Silicon Valley. I was lucky to be present at the creation of the technologies that now drive our economy and have transformed the world – for better and worse – the first microprocessor companies, the first personal computers, the first Internet applications, as well building supercomputers, consumer electronics, and systems for national defense. I’ve stood in the same room with extraordinary visionaries and remarkable engineers, all the while surrounded by an ecosystem of creative, relentless and tenacious individuals who had no respect for the status quo. I’ve taught the next generation of entrepreneurs, now building our AI-enabled future, and others at the intersection of technology and national security.
It’s been one heck of a ride.
