Resumo: | Renown for its intellectual vitality and economic dynamism, Silicon Valley is widely praised as the working model of what an advanced urban landscape has to offer: dynamic corporations, jobs, growing incomes, and intellectual excitement. While the standard origin myth praises bold entrepreneurs as the source of the Valley 's magic, a closer look shows that several decades of public spending on defense and aerospace technology laid the foundation for what later became private initiatives in computers and digital electronics for domestic markets. In the end, however, neither government involvement nor the creativity of high tech business succeed in producing a well formed urban environment. Those who inhabit the «Silicon Valley Super Region» today face a chaotic sprawl of roadways, long commuting times and stressful patterns of social life. Intensive infusions of information technology seem to exacerbate rather than solve these problems. |

Apesar de habitualmente se atribuírem os louros à ousadia empresarial quanto à origem da magia deste vale, foram várias décadas de despesa pública na tecnologia e na educação que lançaram as bases do que mais tarde seriam iniciativas privadas de sucesso. No fim, nem o envolvimento governamental nem a criatividade das empresas de alta tecnologia tiveram êxito na produção de um ambiente urbano bem constituído. Quem habita a «Super-Região de Silicon Valley» encara hoje uma mancha caótica de estradas, longas horas no trânsito e padrões de vida social cheios de stress.Instituto de Ciências Sociais da Universidade de Lisboa2006-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2006181.08https://doi.org/10.31447/AS00032573.2006181.08Análise Social; Vol. 41 N.º 181 (2006): Tecnologia: Perspectivas críticas e culturais; 1095-11032182-29990003-2573reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/33734https://revistas.rcaap.pt/analisesocial/article/view/33734/23566Direitos de Autor (c) 2006 Análise Socialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWinner, Langdon2024-02-17T05:49:19Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/33734Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T00:40:38.390366Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
