The Silicon Valley, found to be much like Las Vegas, Nevada. Valley refers to the Santa Clara Valley, located at the southern end of San Francisco Bay, while Silicon refers to the high concentration of companies involved in the semi conductor (silicon is used to create most semiconductors commercially) and computer industries that were concentrated in the area. These firms slowly replaced the orchards which gave the area its initial nickname, the Valley of Heart's Delight. Silicon Valley is producing huge outcomes, raising huge money, and essentially knocking the cover off the ball. It has even become a new rival of actual competition for Seattle, who say they admire how much optimism and ambition the people there have in their search to create.
