8 Traitors Created Silicon Valley

Today, Silicon Valley is the center of tech around the entire world, but do you know how Silicon Valley was actually created? Well, it turns out that the origins of Silicon Valley can be traced back to 8 Ph.D. students and recent grads who were working for a world-renowned professor named William Shockley. While Shockley was a genius, he wasn’t exactly the easiest person to work with and he regularly got into arguments with his researchers. The students tried asking management to replace the professor but after being repeatedly turned down, the students decided to create their own research laboratory/company that would focus on semiconductor research and commercialization. The new company was called Fairchild Semiconductor and this became the base of the modern silicon-based world. Everything from Intel and AMD to Apple, Google, Applied Materials, and Nvidia can be traced back to Fairchild Semiconductor. This video tells the story of William Shockley and the traitorous 8 and the creation of modern-day Silicon Valley.
