The Silicon Valley area became a major manufacturing power after World War II. The Cold War furthered this development, as industries involved in defense, aerospace, steel, oil, automobiles, and so on prospered (Hossfeld 405-406). The high-technology industry began in the laboratories of corporations such as Bell Laboratories, American Telephone and Telegraph, Fairchild Camera and Instrument, and General Electric during this Cold War era (Bacon, “Organizing”). Employment in California, especially Silicon Valley, grew rapidly between 1950 and 1980 due to technical innovation that characterized the postwar prosperity.

PortalPlayer is a key participant in the iPod economy because Apple relies on them for the platform and reference design of the iPod (Kessler).?

Companies across the U.S. are relying more on technology, and in turn, smaller cities are now these unexpected tech hubs." That's a position that seems easy to support. As businesses shift to a digital environment where consumers need to be engaged through social media or the Internet, it has opened up jobs in software development, digital marketing, mobile app development and web design. It's a trend that has been developing over the past 10 years, and it seems to be moving full seed
