| From the Guidebook: |
This garage is the birthplace
of the world's first high-technology region, "Silicon
Valley." The idea for such a region originated with
Dr. Frederick Terman, a Stanford University professor
who encouraged his students to start up their own electronics
companies in the area instead of joining established firms
in the East. The first two students to follow his advice
were William R. Hewlett and David Packard, who in 1938
began developing their first product, an audio oscillator,
in this garage.
