Learn the who, what, when, where and why of Silicon Valley. Visit the Peninsula south of San Francisco for an in-depth look at the sites and companies that have changed our lives with technology and social media. See Stanford University, Google, Facebook (Meta), Apple and many of the other companies that affect our 21st century lives.
I have lived and worked in Silicon Valley since the 1970’s and know the area well. Join me as I share with you stories about people and places of this unique area.
For example,
You may want a picture of the Meta sign to post on your own Facebook page. You may want to stop at Googleplex and visit the newest building, Charleston East. You may want to see the new “Apple Park” and the Visitors Center. Then, let me take you on a walking tour of Stanford and a walk down University Drive in Palo. Maybe you’ll even be infected by the entrepreneurial bug!
A typical itinerary includes a visit to Stanford, including the Main Quad. We will also drive by the Hewlett Packard Garage in Palo Alto, visit the Computer History Museum (open on weekends only), and stop by Google, Apple, Facebook (Meta), and Intel.
