| The most recent waves of innovation have been sustained by the constant refresh of immigrants to the valley. This mixing of new ideas and new perspectives has been essential to Silicon Valley’s continuing vitality throughout its history. In 1969, the immigrants came mostly from other parts of the United States. By 1980, the percent of the Silicon Valley population born outside the country was roughly double that of the American population as a whole... more |
